A Life-Threatening Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma: An Endotracheal Metastasis.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the urinary system, and nearly half of patients develop lung metastases at the time of diagnosis or during follow-up. Endotracheal metastases from renal cell carcinoma are exceedingly rare but may be life-threatening due to acute airway obstruction. In such cases, therapeutic interventions are primarily directed toward maintaining airway patency rather than achieving oncological control. Here, we report a case of endotracheal metastasis successfully excised using rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia with jet ventilation in a patient who had undergone nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma three years earlier. The patient remained recurrence-free in the trachea at one-year follow-up.
