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

Stauffer syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome associated with Renal Cell Cancer (RCC), seen in 3 %-20 % of cases characterized by reversible nonmetastatic anicteric, hepatic dysfunction in the absence of direct hepatobiliary obstruction. We report a case of 78-yr old male, post Whipple surgery who presented with progressive and isolated elevation of Aminotransferases. Imaging confirmed the presence of a renal mass without hepatic metastasis. The patient underwent partial nephrectomy. The patient's clinical course, management, and subsequent resolution of hepatic dysfunction after resection underscore the importance of considering Stauffer syndrome in patients with unexplained liver test abnormalities.
