Embolization of Renal Cell Carcinoma Skeletal Metastases Preceding Orthopedic Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of renal malignancy in adults. Bone is a major site of metastatic disease from RCC. Osseous metastatic disease from RCC is often seen in the spine, pelvis, and femur, and is usually hypervascular in nature like its primary tumor source. This can cause significant pain, reduced function, pathological fracture, nerve compression, and decreased quality of life during cancer treatment and disease course. Surgical treatments for pathological fracture of the femur include resection, reconstruction, and stabilization with arthroplasty or placement of an intramedullary nail. This series looks at three cases of renal cell carcinoma metastases to the hip with pre-procedural embolization and orthopedic stabilization. Interventional radiology embolization of the arterial supply to the metastatic hypervascular bone lesions can reduce intraoperative blood loss and associated complications.
