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

Introduction: Small renal masses account for 48%-66% of renal cell carcinoma diagnoses, influencing management decisions for low-stage kidney disease. This report presents a case of cancer recurrence and tumor progression into the renal pelvis postcryoablation, managed with radical nephrectomy. Case Presentation: A 70-year-old woman with a history of cryoablation for T1 Conclusion: While local recurrences following cryoablation can often be safely retreated with cryoablation, progression involving the renal pelvis is rare and demands heightened vigilance and expertise. Tailored approaches, including radical nephrectomy and technical adaptability, are essential for achieving optimal oncological and functional outcomes.
