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

A 41-year-old male presented with a 10-year history of incidentally discovered left renal cystic lesions on routine examination. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT and MRI demonstrated multiloculated cystic masses (10 × 8 cm and 10 × 5 cm) suggestive of hydatid disease, with renal scintigraphy showing preserved global function (GFR 87.8 mL/min). The patient underwent successful organ-preserving surgery featuring partial nephrectomy with cyst excision using combined electrocautery and ultrasonic dissection. Surgical management included meticulous adhesiolysis of descending colon/sigmoid colon attachments, dual hypertonic saline scolicidal irrigations (10 min each), and concomitant ureteral stenting for intrinsic stenosis. Histopathology confirmed Echinococcus granulosus infection with characteristic laminated ectocyst and pericystic calcification. The patient maintained disease-free survival at 24-month surveillance, with ultrasonography demonstrating normal renal architecture and complete resolution without recurrence.
