Adult-onset nephroblastoma in a male patient: a case report.
Article in AME case reports, 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
Background: Nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms tumor, is one of the most common malignancies diagnosed in children. Contrarily, the incidence in adults is only 0.2 cases per million people annually. As such, there are no standardized guidelines for clinical management in adults. Case Description: This case describes an adult male in his twenties who presented to the emergency department with 1 week of intermittent hematuria and right flank pain. Imaging unexpectedly revealed a large, radiographically abnormal-appearing mass in the upper pole of the right kidney. The decision was made to biopsy the mass to assist with decisions regarding intervention in case neoadjuvant chemotherapy was indicated. This was later pathologically found to be consistent with nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor). The patient underwent adrenal-sparing right radical nephrectomy with regional lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with vincristine and dactinomycin. Prior to this, he underwent testicular sperm extraction (TESE) due to azoospermia and fertility concerns. He tolerated this well and has had no evidence of disease on surveillance imaging 9 months postoperatively. Conclusions: This case report provides unique insight into specific diagnostic and intraoperative surgical considerations for abnormal adult presentation of nephroblastoma. Specifically, we discuss the role of preoperative biopsy for consideration of neoadjuvant therapy and the role of adrenal-sparing and lymph node sampling. We highlight this in the context of the current literature available regarding the management of adult nephroblastoma.
