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 angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are typically benign tumors of the renal cortex, often discovered incidentally. Although rare, AMLs can originate in the renal sinus and extend into the pelvicalyceal system, leading to obstructive uropathy and mimicking urothelial malignancies. We present the case of a 23-year-old female who was referred to our institution with right flank pain and hematuria. Imaging revealed a fat-containing mass in the right renal sinus extending into the pelvicalyceal system and causing ureteropelvic junction obstruction. A presumptive diagnosis of AML was made based on CT characteristics, which was later confirmed histopathologically following surgical excision. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing the characteristic imaging features of AMLs, particularly in unusual locations, and highlights the role of biopsy in guiding conservative, nephron-sparing management.
