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

Renal sinus lipomatosis is a benign proliferation of fatty tissue within the renal sinus, typically preserving the renal parenchyma, and is usually detected incidentally. Renal replacement lipomatosis (RRL) represents the advanced end of the spectrum of renal sinus lipomatosis. It is characterized by extensive fatty proliferation associated with marked renal parenchymal atrophy. Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly; however, its association with unilateral RRL is rarely reported. We report a case of a 28-year-old male who presented with right flank pain and was found to have a horseshoe kidney with near-complete RRL of the right moiety on CT urography. He had no history of renal surgery, calculus disease, or infection. This case highlights the importance of recognizing RRL in a horseshoe kidney to avoid misdiagnosis and underscores the diagnostic value of CT urography in establishing the diagnosis.
