Unusual Presentation of Nephroblastoma in an Adolescent: A Case of Initial Misdiagnosis as a Renal Abscess.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present the case of a 15-year-old girl who initially had fever, flank pain, and imaging findings consistent with a renal abscess. She was treated with antibiotics and improved clinically, but follow-up imaging showed incomplete resolution. After one year, she developed a recurrence, and a large renal mass was identified. Radical nephrectomy was performed, and histopathology confirmed a nephroblastoma tumor. This unusual presentation demonstrates that recurrent or incompletely resolving renal collections may hide an underlying malignancy. Clinicians should maintain suspicion for neoplastic causes in such scenarios, even in age groups where infection is more likely.
