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

We describe a case of a 74-year-old patient with recurrent fever of up-to 38.5°C, nocturnal sweating, weight loss of 4 kg, non-characteristic pain, and elevation of liver function tests (LFTs), who was diagnosed with Stauffer's syndrome. The patient successfully underwent laparoscopic heminephrectomy. The histology was clear-cell carcinoma of the right kidney (cT1a). The abnormalities in laboratory tests, such as Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, C-reactive protein, LFTs, α2-globulin, and most clinical symptoms abated 2 weeks post-surgery. We hypothesize that elevated LFTs in renal cell carcinoma patients could help deciding in favour of surgery in cases where the initial decision would be watchful waiting.
