Multilocular cystic nephroma in an adult: a diagnostic quandary.
Article in CEN case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Multilocular cystic nephroma (MLCN) is an unusual, benign slow-growing renal cystic neoplasm which mimics other cystic renal lesions and has such clinical, radiological, and morphological features that causes diagnostic dilemma. MLCN lies in the spectrum of mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) family of kidney. According to World Health Organization (WHO 2016 classification), MEST encompasses spectrum of tumors ranging from predominantly cystic tumors, adult cystic nephroma (ACN) to tumors that are variably solid (MEST), thus creating diagnostic dilemma. Moreover, it has several benign and malignant differentials due to its several overlapping histomorphological features which when not cautiously dealt with may result in misdiagnosing it as malignant lesion. We hereby present a case of a woman in late twenties who presented with left flank swelling and pain since 6 months which was misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma on radiology which turned out to be ACN on histology and further verified on immunohistochemistry.
