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

Introduction Renal lesions are common findings encountered in cross-sectional imaging. Ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are available modalities for evaluating renal lesions. The Bosniak classification system aids in classifying a renal lesion into a particular category based on various imaging characteristics on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT).  Materials and methods The CT report archives were searched for the keyword 'Bosniak' lesions, and six illustrative cases were selected to be included in the review. Results Six cases under Bosniak categories I to IV were included in the review. Operative follow-ups were added in cases where patients underwent surgery. Discussion We have reviewed the imaging features of various renal lesions with cross-sectional modalities, namely CT and MRI, with special emphasis on the Bosniak classification system, including its amendments. Conclusion The Bosniak system is widely used to classify and characterize renal lesions. The authors have presented a scoping review of the features of renal lesions and the Bosniak system.
