1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare, benign, vascular neoplasms arising from the glomus body. Although they occasionally develop in any part of the body, they do so more common in the upper extremities, most frequently subungual areas. An extensive review of the literature revealed less than thirty cases of primary renal glomus tumors. We present a unique case of an adult male with an incidentally discovered 2.5 cm right renal mass. Histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination suggested the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of soft tissue tumors, the presence of at least two atypical features indicates malignant potential. In this case, deep/visceral location and size greater than 2 cm fulfilled these criteria. Following an uneventful excision and a 12-month follow-up period, the patient remains disease-free with no sign of local or distant metastases.
