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 angiomyolipoma (AML) is a typically benign renal tumor that is divided into 2 classes, the classical variant and the more aggressive epithelioid variant. It is extremely rare for an AML to exhibit aggressive features such as vascular invasion. We present the case of a 36-year-old female who presented with right lower quadrant pain for 9 months and was found to have an AML with tumor extension into the renal vein and the IVC. Diagnosis was confirmed with histopathology and the patient was treated with a total nephrectomy. The epithelioid subtype of AML is a rare variant that should be considered in the differential of a renal mass with vascular invasion.
