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

rationaleLow-grade oncocytic tumor (LOT) is characterized by cells with oncocytic/eosinophilic cytoplasm. Despite the clear definition of the tumor, challenges persist as some tumors resemble LOT, complicating the diagnosis. Therefore, understanding its characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis and differentiation from other renal oncocytic tumors. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 81-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a right renal mass during routine examination. DIAGNOSES: Histological examination of the specimen obtained from a partial nephrectomy revealed oncocytic cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, indistinct cell borders, uniform round nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli, arranged in small nesting and trabecular patterns. A vague peri-nuclear halo was also observed. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated significant positivity for CK7, while CD117, CA9, GATA3, CK20, RCC, and GPNMB were negative. Based on these findings, we diagnosed the tumor as a LOT.

interventionsThe patient underwent partial nephrectomy for tumor removal. OUTCOMES: There was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis during follow-up. LESSONS: LOT can exhibit variations in its immunohistochemical profile. Therefore, additional studies and the accumulation of similar cases are necessary.
