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
Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (TLFCK) is a rare cancer that emerged to the medical literature only a few years ago. We present here the first case of thyroid follicular carcinoma-like renal tumor from Syria. The case presented symptomatically and was managed in our surgical unit. Generally, the presenting age described for the previous cases was 19-60 (mean 39.5) with only three cases with younger ages. Here in our case, the patient is only 13 years old making this only the fourth case worldwide of TLFCK in a child. The microscopic view of the tumor showed distinct thyroid features. In addition the immunohistochemical stains played the definitive role in the diagnosis. The staining for Vimentin, and CK19 were diffusively positive. CK7 was focally positive, whereas TTf1, Thyroglobulin, WT1, CD10 and EMA were negative. It is important to consider this diagnosis to spare the patient the treatment protocol of primary thyroid cancer with metastasis.
