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 (RCC) is a malignancy that can, in rare cases, present initially with cutaneous metastases, often reflecting an advanced stage. We report the case of a 71-year-old asymptomatic patient who presented with a gradually enlarging, raised lesion on the face over two years, clinically resembling a pyogenic granuloma. An excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis from clear cell RCC. Further staging investigations revealed a mass in the upper pole of the left renal cortex, a suspicious lesion in the lower pole, and bilateral pulmonary nodules, suggesting metastatic spread. The patient was started on sunitinib, resulting in both clinical and radiological improvement.
