The Malignant Imposter: Cystic Renal Oncocytoma Challenging Bosniak Criteria.
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 cystic lesions are frequently encountered in clinical practice. While simple cysts are benign, complex cysts with solid components (e.g., Bosniak III/IV) often raise concerns regarding malignancy. Rarely, benign renal tumors such as oncocytoma may present with cystic changes, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. A 70-year-old male was found to have a right renal cyst on abdominal imaging conducted for right upper quadrant fullness. Contrast-enhanced CT tomography of the abdomen revealed a 6.8 x 6.6 x 6.4 cm exophytic hypodense cystic lesion with an internal soft tissue component measuring 13 mm in thickness, which exhibited significant enhancement after contrast administration. Due to the suspicion of cancer, a right partial nephrectomy was performed. The patient had a smooth postoperative recovery. Histopathological analysis confirmed the lesion as a renal oncocytoma with cystic alterations. Immunohistochemistry tests were negative for CK7, confirming the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma. This case highlights the importance of histopathological and immunohistochemical assessments and emphasizes the need to prevent overtreatment of patients.
