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

In this case report, we describe a diagnosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma in a 76-year-old male patient who was incidentally found to have a left adrenal mass during routine aneurysm surveillance. Computed tomography demonstrated a left adrenal mass and left renal structure which was concerning for renal cell carcinoma. He underwent left adrenalectomy and initial histopathology demonstrated papillary renal cell carcinoma. He subsequently underwent left radical nephrectomy with lymph node dissection. Histopathological analysis of the removed left renal and nodal specimens revealed papillary renal cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis. However, re-review of the adrenal pathology slides determined the specimen as represented by primary kidney tumor and not adrenal metastasis. This report reviews the presentation and radiological findings of synchronous papillary renal cell carcinoma and differential diagnosis for indeterminate adrenal mass on computed tomography.
