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

We present a case of pulmonary metastasis originating from renal angiomyolipoma (AML), as evidenced by whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis. Although AML predominantly arises in the kidneys, it can emerge in various body parts, making it important to distinguish between multicentric development and metastasis. However, previous studies have not distinguished between these conditions. Our case features an 82-year-old woman with a history of renal AML who presented with multiple, randomly distributed, bilateral pulmonary nodules of varying size and pure fat densities. The patient's condition followed a benign course over 10 years. Through WES, we discovered shared mutations in pulmonary lesions that were absent in the patient's blood, including a pathological mutation in TSC2, suggesting a metastatic origin from renal AML. Knowledge of the pulmonary manifestations of AML and their distinctive imaging findings can help radiologists and clinicians diagnose and manage patients with similar presentations.
