Clinically Silent, Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Detected on Routine Screening Mammogram: A Report of a Rare Case and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 and the most lethal urogenital malignancy, and can metastasize rapidly via hematogenous spread. Even so, RCC metastasis within the breast is extremely rare and may appear deceptively benign on screening mammograms. In this article, we present a rare case of RCC that remained undiagnosed until an intra-mammary metastasis was detected on a routine screening mammogram. Further imaging workup and core needle biopsy of the mass ultimately confirmed a new diagnosis of metastatic clear cell RCC. Given that the presence of an RCC breast metastasis indicated advanced-stage RCC, the patient in this case underwent treatment with systemic immunotherapy. This case report describes key imaging features of metastatic RCC on common breast imaging modalities. It underscores the vital role that screening mammography can play in the initial detection of clinically silent, extra-mammary malignancies, including RCC. Thorough imaging workup and tissue biopsy are essential to distinguish a primary breast lesion from intra-mammary metastatic disease, to inform the management plan, and to prevent lumpectomy or mastectomy when it does not benefit the patient.
