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
Horseshoe kidney (HSK), characterized by the fusion of two kidneys forming a U-shape, presents intricate challenges in renal anatomy and poses a unique landscape for the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This abstract delves into the case of a 74-year-old male with HSK who also developed RCC, where the employment of intraoperative retrograde pyelogram (RP) played a pivotal role in enhancing surgical precision. The patient's complex tumor was successfully resected through meticulous identification and dissection. A comprehensive literature review reveals the significance of laparoscopic and robotic surgeries in treating RCC within HSKs, with 3D-reconstruction aiding in surgical planning. While advancements in imaging technologies have improved surgical outcomes, the underexplored utility of intraoperative RP stands out. RP provided real-time insights into the renal pelvis anatomy, guiding the surgical team in navigating intricate structures and ensuring optimal reconstruction post-tumor excision. The discussion underscores the challenges posed by RCC in HSKs, importance of preoperative 3D-reconstruction and angiography in surgical planning, and the critical role of intraoperative RP in mapping renal pelvis anatomy. Unlike conventional imaging methods, RP offers dynamic visualization of the renal drainage system, safeguarding against inadvertent closures and enhancing surgical precision. The successful utilization of RP in this case not only facilitated safe tumor resection but also highlighted its potential in managing unclear renal structures. In conclusion, the integration of intraoperative RP in surgical interventions for RCC within HSKs proves instrumental in enhancing surgical precision and navigating complex anatomical variations. By emphasizing the importance of real-time imaging guidance, surgeons can optimize treatment outcomes for individuals with RCC in the challenging context of HSK anomalies.
