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

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MESTK) is an unusual biphasic benign renal neoplasm. It predominantly occurs in perimenopausal women, with only eight cases reported in children. Owing to its rarity, only limited radiological information has been reported in the literature, in none of the previous pediatric cases were both CT and MRI findings of the tumor provided. Herein, we report a rare case of MESTK in a 13-year-old girl. This case was the largest observed in children to date. Findings from our report provide novel insights into the MRI features of a large pediatric MESTK and indicate the importance of MRI for observing adipose components and the absence of diffusion restriction within the tumor. Radiologists should consider the possibility of MESTK in children when they observe a large, solid renal tumor without diffusion restriction in children.
