Uncontrolled Hypertension Leading to the Diagnosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.
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 (RCC) is frequently diagnosed unexpectedly, as early disease usually lacks clinical findings. Although hypertension is a risk factor for RCC, it may also represent a paraneoplastic manifestation of the disease. We report the case of a man who presented to the emergency department with acute ear pain and was found to have severe, newly diagnosed hypertension. Despite multidrug antihypertensive therapy, blood pressure remained poorly controlled, prompting further investigation for secondary causes. Imaging studies revealed a cystic renal mass, and the patient underwent partial nephrectomy, with histopathological confirmation of RCC. After tumor resection, the patient maintained improved blood pressure control over time, allowing a reduction of his antihypertensive therapy. This case highlights resistant hypertension as a potential manifestation of an underlying malignancy and underscores the importance of a comprehensive clinical approach in patients with poorly controlled hypertension.
