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

Ewing sarcoma is a very rare tumour with aggressive behaviour and a poor prognosis. It tends to metastasize rapidly. Renal Ewing sarcoma is extremely rare, and only 48 cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report the case of a 14-year-old female presenting with a painful left flank swelling. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large tumour invading the left kidney, heterogeneously enhanced after injection, associated with lymph nodes and peritoneal carcinomatosis. A thoraco-abdomino-pelvic computed tomography scan revealed pulmonary nodules and osteolytic lesions. A biopsy was performed, and histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies confirmed the diagnosis of retroperitoneal Ewing sarcoma. Multi-agent chemotherapy followed by radical nephrectomy was performed, confirming the renal origin, and histology showed a post-therapeutical response. After a 1-year follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence. We report this case to highlight the rarity of this entity and its challenging clinico-pathological diagnosis when presenting as a renal tumour.
