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 cell carcinoma is rarely reported in pregnant women. Diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms are similar to physiological changes and disorders of pregnancy. Each case should be discussed on an individual basis because there are no guidelines described for the clinical management of this disease during pregnancy. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department at six weeks of gestation with left-sided flank pain and pollakiuria. Renal ultrasound revealed a 6 cm solid mass in the left kidney, suggestive of a renal neoplasm. Magnetic resonance imaging showed no signs of local or distant metastasis. The patient was treated with laparoscopic radical nephrectomy at 14 weeks of gestation without any complications. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a renal clear-cell carcinoma. Progression of pregnancy was normal, and the patient gave birth to a healthy child at term. Follow-up examinations after four years demonstrated no cancer recurrence.
