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 epithelioid perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare neoplasms with potential for aggressive clinical behaviour that present a significant diagnostic challenge due to imaging features that overlap with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We present the case of a 51-year-old female with the coexistence of a typical fat-containing renal angiomyolipoma (AML) and an adjacent large, fat-poor renal mass on computed tomography (CT), confirmed on histopathology as an epithelioid PEComa, with high-risk features including large size and necrosis. Despite complete resection, a local recurrence of the PEComa was detected in the surgical bed 14 months postoperatively. This case serves as a clinical example of the rare but recognized association between classic AML and epithelioid PEComa. Furthermore, the recurrence also reinforces the necessity of diligent long-term surveillance following the resection of such tumors, especially in cases with high risk features.
