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

Multiple non-cystic renal lesions are occasionally discovered during imaging for various reasons and poses a diagnostic challenge to the practicing radiologist. These lesions may appear as a primary or dominant imaging finding or may be an additional abnormality in the setting of multiorgan involvement. Awareness of the imaging appearance of the various entities presenting as renal lesions integrated with associated extrarenal imaging findings along with clinical information is crucial for a proper diagnostic approach and patient work-up. This review summarizes the most relevant causes of infectious, inflammatory, vascular, and neoplastic disorders presenting as predominantly multiple focal non-cystic lesions.
