Challenges in diagnosing renal squamous cell carcinoma: a case report with emphasis on histopathology.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the primary renal pelvis is an exceptionally rare tumor. It can often lead to infection, persistent discomfort, and nephrolithiasis. It is uncommon in the renal pelvis; instead, it usually occurs in the transitional epithelium of the urinary tract. Here, we report the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with a standing history of pain and tenderness over the right hypochondrium. A large, solid cystic lesion was noted in the right kidney during the imaging study. A moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney was diagnosed on histopathology. A complete right nephrectomy was performed. Although the primary SCC of the kidney is rare, the uncommon location of this type of tumor emphasizes the case's relevance, and it should be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis of renal tumors.
