Mixed Epithelial and Stromal Tumor of the Kidney: Clinicopathologic Features and Surgical Outcomes in Four Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) is a rare neoplasm of the kidney that is seen mostly in middle-aged women with a history of hormonal contraceptive consumption. Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors are usually benign tumors with minimal chances of metastasis and recurrence. However, few malignant transformations of MEST have been recorded. In perimenopausal patients presenting with a complex cystic renal mass in the renal system with a history of selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) therapy, MEST must be a differential diagnosis. The key treatment in MEST is surgical resection of the tumor. A MEST is similar to adult cystic nephroma (ACN), but MEST has complex epithelial and stromal components. We present a case series of four patients with a characteristic tumor of the kidney with the presence of mixed epithelial and stromal components. The ages of the patients ranged from 48 years to 55 years (mean age being 51 years). One of these cases is relatively rare as the patient is male and has no history of taking hormonal medications. Patients underwent surgical removal of tumors, and all of the patients recovered well postoperatively.
