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

Diagnostic and treatment guidelines for renal medullary carcinoma are not established. A 52-year-old Japanese woman presented to her general physician with symptoms of cough and respiratory distress. A primary malignant tumor of the right kidney and multiple metastases were suspected during imaging; therefore, she was referred to our department for consultation. The results of a computed tomography-guided tumor biopsy revealed a diagnosis of renal medullary carcinoma without sickle cell hemoglobinopathy. This case was atypical because renal medullary carcinoma was not accompanied by sickle cell hemoglobinopathy and the patient was Japanese.
