Late Recurrence of Renal Cell Carcinoma Presenting With Skeletal Muscle Metastases: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Metastatic spread from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can occur in unusual locations, many years after curative nephrectomy. We report the case of a 71-year-old male patient who developed multiple asymptomatic skeletal muscle metastases from RCC, seven years after curative nephrectomy. The lesions were discovered incidentally on CT angiography performed for peripheral artery disease and demonstrated hypervascularity with prominent feeding arteries, consistent with metastatic RCC. Additional pancreatic and pulmonary metastases were also identified on CT. The patient declined further intervention due to poor health status. This case highlights the potential for late, asymptomatic, and unusual metastatic sites in RCC, emphasizing the importance of considering extended surveillance in long-term survivors.
