Unclassifiable Renal Cell Carcinoma With an Estimated 100% Sarcomatoid Component: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive tumour with a poor prognosis. It is not a distinct histological entity, as it can be found in any subtype of renal cell carcinoma. The majority of cases will present with advanced or metastatic disease requiring systemic treatment. However, pathologists are sometimes confronted with renal cell tumours that do not fit any definition, so these tumours must be considered unclassified renal cell carcinomas. The criteria for this classification are varied and include tumours with more than one histological subtype, tumours with unrecognized epithelial histological subtypes, mucin-producing tumours, and tumours with an exclusively sarcomatoid or rhabdoid morphology. The latter subgroup of unclassified renal cell carcinomas is rare in renal pathology. Consequently, the presence and quantity of the sarcomatoid component must be reflected in pathology reports. We report the case of a 76-year-old male patient presenting with intermittent left lumbar pain for two months, in a deteriorating general condition. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed an unclassifiable renal cell carcinoma with an estimated 100% sarcomatoid component.
