Management of Renal Angiomyolipomas in Tuberous Sclerosis: A Case Series.
Article in Vascular specialist international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 angiomyolipomas, benign tumors composed of blood vessels, adipose tissue, and smooth muscle, affect approximately 70% to 80% of patients with tuberous sclerosis. Angiomyolipomas smaller than 4 cm are usually asymptomatic, whereas larger ones can cause lumbar pain, anemia, and hematuria. Contrary to its sporadic counterparts, tuberous sclerosis-associated angiomyolipomas often present at a young age, are multicentric and large, and carry a higher risk of life-threatening hemorrhage. Therapeutic strategies include selective tumor embolization, nephrectomy for severe cases, and medical treatment such as everolimus. Despite a correlation between tuberous sclerosis and renal angiomyolipomas and their described high complication rates in literature, disease awareness in clinical practice remains low. This case series describes the management and outcomes of three patients with tuberous sclerosis-associated renal angiomyolipomas treated with selective arterial embolization.
