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

Wilms' tumor (nephroblastoma) is among the most common childhood cancers in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other African countries. However, its association with sickle cell disease is rarely reported in the literature. We present a case of nephroblastoma associated with sickle cell disease. The management of such a case requires a multidisciplinary team in a specialized center. The combination of surgery with pre- and postoperative chemotherapy leads to excellent curative rates. Renal histology after nephrectomy provides the diagnosis and defines the tumor type. Multiple mutations leading to cancers in humans may explain the coexistence of these two genetic diseases with affected genes found in the same chromosome. Further research to provide a molecular genetic explanation of such comorbidity is recommended.
