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

backgroundMetanephric adenoma is a rare benign renal tumor of the kidney, uncommonly observed in children. It is often misdiagnosed preoperatively as a malignant neoplasm, leading to an unnecessary nephrectomy. The challenge is to make the right diagnosis preoperatively and therefore manage it with conservative surgery. We report a case of a child with metanephric adenoma who underwent nephron-sparing surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A renal tumor was discovered fortuitously in an 18-month-old Caucasian girl with several congenital malformations. Investigations showed a 28 × 27 × 27 mm left renal mass centrally located, well defined, nonvascularized, with no calcifications and which compressed the adjacent renal tissue. Furthermore, there were no signs of metastasis. The decision of a multidisciplinary meeting was to perform a computed tomography (CT)-scan-guided biopsy. Histologic examination concluded it was a metanephric adenoma. We performed a left open partial nephrectomy via a flank retroperitoneal incision. The final histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

conclusionPreoperative diagnosis of metanephric adenoma is challenging. Because of the high probability of unnecessary radical nephrectomy, preoperative biopsy can be safe and determining to guide a more conservative approach so nephron-sparing surgery can be performed.
