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

Renal cell carcinoma is frequently undiagnosed until it reaches an advanced metastatic stage. Renal cell cancers are also seen as incidental findings on imaging, and rarely can present as physical examination findings. We report a rare case where metastatic renal cell carcinoma presented as a solitary 2 cm subcutaneous chest wall nodule in an otherwise asymptomatic male patient. Initial ultrasound evaluation showed a solid vascular subcutaneous mass, a fine needle aspiration suggested metastatic renal cell cancer, and later, excision biopsy, and CT scan of the abdomen made the final diagnosis of stage IV renal cell carcinoma. The differential diagnosis of a 2 cm nodule can be broad and in appropriate clinical setting should include consideration of malignancy and/ metastasis.
