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

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) recognized as an independent entity in the latest WHO (World Health Organization) classification. We here report a case of a 51-year-old female patient with MTSCC, who presented with abdominal pain and left lower pole kidney lesion on the computed tomography scan. A robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination. MTSCC is rare and generally indolent. Either partial or radical nephrectomy is usually curative. The prognosis is usually favorable. However, occasionally, MTSCC could demonstrate aggressive features requiring systemic therapy. There are also several mimickers of MTSCC, which carry different prognostic and treatment profiles. Histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular genetic profile are useful in diagnosing the disease.
