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

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a diverse array of cancers arising from renal tubular epithelial cells. RCC presenting with distinct morphological subtypes, such as the simultaneous presence of chromophobe RCC (chRCC) and clear cell RCC (ccRCC) lesions within the same kidney, is rare. We present the case of a 79-year-old female with a history of breast cancer who presented to our facility with right flank pain. Further investigations using CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a Bosniak type 4 cyst with a mural nodule in the right kidney. Furthermore, another well-defined, solid lesion measuring 2.8 × 2.6 cm was observed in the same area. The patient underwent a right radical nephrectomy. The macroscopic examination of the kidney revealed the presence of three cysts, with the largest measuring up to 7.5 cm. Moreover, a distinctly demarcated, golden-yellow, solid mass was discerned in the superior pole of the kidney. The mass showed a heterogeneous cut surface with solid and cystic components, measuring 2.8 × 2.6 × 2.0 cm. A less extensive but well-defined, uniform tan mass was also identified within the wall of the largest cyst, which measured 1.2 × 1.0 × 0.7 cm. At this point, the diagnosis of ccRCC and chRCC was established.
