Spontaneous Rupture of Large Angiomyolipoma of the Kidney: A Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Angiomyolipoma is the most frequent neoplasm of the kidney. It may have a wide range of clinical manifestations, but it is usually detected incidentally on cross-sectional images. Rupture and hemorrhage of angiomyolipoma is an important concern for large lesions. We present the case of a 42-year-old female, with no history of urinary stones, who presented with a sudden-onset left flank pain for eight hours. Upon examination, she was tachycardic and hypotensive. Abdominal examination revealed a left-sided flank mass. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast demonstrated a heterogeneous mass lesion in the left kidney with mixed attenuation and had a macroscopic fat density that was surrounded by a large hematoma. Subsequently, transcatheter renal artery embolization was performed with no complications. The procedure was able to control the active bleeding. Then, a total nephrectomy was performed, and the hematoma was evacuated during laparotomy. Spontaneous nontraumatic renal hemorrhage is a very rare condition. Clinicians should keep a high index of suspicion for this condition when they encounter a patient with the clinical triad of flank pain, flank mass, and hypotension. The case demonstrated the role of endovascular embolization of angiomyolipoma to control life-threatening hemorrhage.
