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 is an uncommon benign tumor that mostly affects adults and is highly associated with tuberous sclerosis. It's very uncommon for it to affect adolescents. In this case, a 17-year-old male with abdominal pain and distension was diagnosed with sporadic giant renal angiomyolipoma. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis after a successful nephrectomy. Though rare in teenagers, giant renal angiomyolipoma can be managed with surgery. Histopathology is a mainstay of confirming the diagnosis. Conclusion: This case highlights the difficulties in managing big retroperitoneal tumors in teenagers and the necessity of taking sporadic angiomyolipoma into account when making a differential diagnosis.
