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

backgroundWe present a rare case of Primary Renal Lymphoma (PRL) diagnosed on histopathology following robotic nephroureterectomy. This case explores the diagnostic and management challenges urologists face, when treating renal masses. CASE PRESENTATION: An 82-year-old male presented with recurrent macroscopic haematuria and a computed tomography intravenous pyelogram (CT IVP) reported renal papillary necrosis and an associated mass effect at the right renal pelvis. Urine cytology was inconclusive, whilst inpatient pyeloscopy revealed a renal pelvis tumour. This was biopsied and reported as suspicious for urothelial carcinoma. Multidisciplinary team discussion (MDT) recommended curative surgery. Following right nephroureterectomy, postoperative histology revealed a diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma (DLBCL) extending through the renal capsule into perirenal fat, renal vein and renal pelvis.

conclusionWe highlight the clinical similarities between upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and PRL, encouraging urologists to consider biopsies of indeterminate lesions, particularly amongst the frail population.
