Preoperative C-reactive protein is related with renal cell tumor dimension? Preliminary results.
Article in Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionRenal tumors do not benefit from an unanimously accepted tumor marker. We tried to evaluate the advantages of preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) values and monitor the dynamic of CRP values from the perspective of the evolution of patients diagnosed with Grawitz tumors. PATIENTS, MATERIALS AND
methodsWe researched the medical records of patients with renal parenchymal tumors admitted to the Urological Clinic in Iaşi, Romania, between 01.01.2018 and 01.08.2022. Data were collected regarding age, environment, comorbidities, paraclinical data, tumor characteristics, and treatment performed. Ninety-six patients were included. The data on the inflammatory syndrome pre- and postoperatively were evaluated comparatively. All patients were diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
resultsWe found that the renal tumor dimension correlates with an increased preoperative CRP level. For other variables, the correlations regarding age, sex, tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) stage, and size in relation to the increase or decrease of CRP had no statistical significance.
conclusionsThe analysis of preoperative CRP and CRP dynamics could predict the tumor's aggressiveness and the treatment's effectiveness. A clear association between CRP levels and RCC pathogenesis is not yet defined, thus, further studies are necessary.
