Comparison of perinephric fat measurements between malignant and benign renal tumours.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo investigate different parameters derived from the quantity and quality of perinephric fat, and to compare their effectiveness in predicting the malignant pathology of renal tumours.
methodsData from patients diagnosed with renal tumour between April 2014 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed, and patients were categorized into malignant or benign tumour groups. Fat parameters, including perinephric fat volume (PFV), perinephric fat area (PFA), perinephric fat thickness (PFT), and Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) score were measured using abdominal computed tomography scans. Between-group differences were assessed by analysis of variance and χ
resultsA total of 109 patients were included. MAP score, PFV, PFA, and PFT were significantly increased in the malignant versus benign tumour group, and after correction for body mass index (BMI), the indexed PFV/BMI, PFA/BMI, and PFT/BMI values remained significantly higher in the malignant tumour group. All parameters showed fair predictivity of malignancy, with comparable area under the curve values in the ROC curve.
conclusionAn increased amount of perinephric fat is predictive of malignant pathology for renal tumours. The predictive accuracy for each perinephric fat parameter remained fair after correcting for BMI.
