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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is known to display synchronous and metachronous metastases to a diverse set of organs. Retrograde and contralateral metastases of ccRCC are rare, with few cases in the literature. The mechanism of spread in these cases is thought to be facilitated by either the direct extension of tumor into the renal and gonadal veins or by the vertebral venous plexus. Here, we present a rare case of contralateral and retrograde ccRCC metastasis with extensive venous involvement.
