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

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. It is characterised by a predisposition to cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) and an aggressive form of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We report the case of a 53-year-old female who presented with an unusual rash in the context of a personal and family history of uterine leiomyomas requiring hysterectomy. A skin biopsy confirmed cutaneous leiomyomas and subsequent genetic testing demonstrated a pathogenic heterozygous mutation on exon 7 of the FH gene, confirming a diagnosis of HLRCC. Due to the recognised association with renal cell carcinoma in this syndrome, abdominal imaging was performed, which excluded RCC, and the patient was commenced on lifelong surveillance with annual abdominal magnetic resonance imaging.
