Bilateral Renal Cell Carcinoma in the Horseshoe Kidney With Metastasis in Gallbladder, Pancreas and Duodenum: A Report of a Rare Case and Literature Review.

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
Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly and is associated with various complications, ranging from infections to neoplasms. While renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent renal neoplasm in adults, its occurrence in a horseshoe kidney is rare, and bilateral involvement is rarer. Furthermore, RCC metastasizing to organs is known and rare sites of metastasis are also documented. The report presents a unique case of bilateral RCC in a horseshoe kidney with synchronous metastasis to the gallbladder, pancreas, and duodenum. This presentation, involving metastasis to these specific organs, is exceedingly uncommon, making it a rarest of rare possibilities. The current case report underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring and comprehensive evaluation in patients with horseshoe kidneys, as they may be predisposed to unusual complications like RCC and rare site metastasis.
