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

introduction and significanceThe presence of thyroid-like follicular carcinoma in the kidney is very rare, There have been few documented cases of this tumor's formation, and there are no specific signs for this tumor's presence and it is often discovered incidentally by chance, and the diagnosis depends mainly on histological examination and the negative results of thyroid marker tests. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the case of an adult male who had prostate adenocarcinoma and later suffered from pain in the flank, so radiographic examination showed a mass in the right kidney, which was removed, and the result of histopathologic examination was thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Although this tumor is rare, we need to keep it in mind as a potential diagnosis for renal lesions in our clinical practice.

conclusionThe presence of a low-grade malignancy and metastasis in this tumor is a good sign, and this is what motivates us to obtain more reports to better understand the nature of this tumor formation, which is important for human health.
