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

Spontaneous tumour regression is a rare but well-documented phenomenon, especially for renal cell carcinomas. We describe the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. He was diagnosed with a large type A aortic dissection and an incidental right renal mass, highly suspicious of a renal cell carcinoma. Following repair of the dissection, subsequent imaging showed that the renal mass had largely resolved. Spontaneous tumour regression is commonly thought to occur through immunological mechanisms. A vascular cause of tumour regression through infarction is postulated in this case. Although angioembolisation is a well-recognised management option in the context of palliative treatment of symptomatic renal tumours, this case suggests an extended role for angioembolisation in the treatment of small renal masses.
