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

Horseshoe kidney (HSK) is the most common renal fusion anomaly. It frequently consists of kidney fusion in the lower pole across the midline and occurs during embryogenesis. The incidence of malignancies in HSKs can be 3-4 times higher than that in normal kidneys. A 69-year-old man with a voluminous right kidney neoplasm in HSK and a single omolateral axillary lymphadenopathy underwent complete excision of right axillary lymphadenopathy and ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of the right kidney expansive lesion. The diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma both in HSK and right axilla was made. We report this case to raise awareness among physicians regarding the importance of a correct clinical evaluation and diagnostic workup so as to avoid surgery, which is not easy and without complications, in patients with this kidney anomaly. Primary renal lymphoma should also be included among possible neoplasms of HSK. Renal biopsy should always be recommended in cases where atypical findings are obtained from imaging techniques and when its outcome can impact clinical decision-making. In the present case, biopsy was performed, and thus, nephrectomy was avoided and specific medical therapy was quickly started.
