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

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare, progressive disease predominantly affecting the lungs of women of reproductive age, is often associated with renal angiomyolipoma (AML). We report the case of a 29-year-old female patient who presented to our obstetrics department at 37 weeks' gestation, complaining of abdominal pain, and constipation. Ultrasound noted a viable singleton with a large left-sided abdominal mass. After undergoing a caesarean section, she was referred to our urology department to assess her flank mass further. Computed tomography demonstrated a large, exophytic left renal mass measuring 22 cm x 16 cm x 13 cm, suggestive of an AML and numerous bilateral pulmonary cysts. A diagnosis of LAM and associated unilateral giant renal AML was made. As soon as she had fully recovered from her caesarean section, we removed the huge AML via a standard left-sided open nephrectomy without incident. We report this rare case of giant AML associated with LAM and review the literature about the association of these two conditions.
