A clinician's guide to the diagnosis and management of kidney cysts.
Review in Internal medicine journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Kidney cysts are frequently encountered as incidental findings on imaging studies and are typically benign in nature. However, certain cysts exhibit characteristics that may predispose them to malignant transformation. The Bosniak classification, based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, offers a systematic approach to stratifying kidney cysts by their radiological features and estimating the associated risk of malignancy. This classification further informs clinical decision-making regarding surveillance, intervention or referral. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnostic evaluation and referral pathways for kidney cysts, with an emphasis on the practical application of the Bosniak classification in clinical practice.
