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

Certain renal developmental anomalies and non-tumorous lesions in children may mimic malignant tumors, leading to diagnostic challenges. These lesions, known as pseudotumors, require careful differentiation to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. In this context, imaging techniques play a critical role in differentiating pseudotumors from malignant neoplasms. Ultrasound (US) is the preferred initial imaging modality in pediatric patients. When US findings are inconclusive, magnetic resonance imaging is commonly used as the next step. Computed tomography is less commonly preferred due to ionizing radiation. It is useful to evaluate the lesion along with the clinical and laboratory findings, and the follow-up imaging may be necessary in some cases. This review presents common and uncommon developmental, infectious, granulomatous, vascular, and miscellaneous renal pseudotumors in the pediatric population.
