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: Nephroblastoma, or Wilms' tumor, is a malignant renal neoplasm commonly found in children, is extremely rare in adults representing only 0.5% of all renal neoplasms. Adult Wilms tumor is rare, to our knowledge fewer than 300 cases have been reported in the English literature to date. However, in older adults after 60 years of age, only less than 45 cases have been reported. For this reason, treatment guidelines in adults still are lacking. Prognosis in nephroblastoma for adult patients is found to be worse than in children. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 65-year-old female with lumbar fossa mass, flank pain and hematuria, and pathologic diagnosis of Wilms tumor. We performed nephrectomy. No adjuvant treatment was given. Our patient remains asymptomatic and without evidence of recurrence 12 months after the surgery. Conclusion: Nephroblastoma in the elderly presents different clinical behavior and prognosis compared to nephroblastoma in children.
