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

We report a 14-year-old girl presenting with flank pain, microscopic haematuria, and polycythaemia. Imaging demonstrated a well-defined upper pole renal mass with minimal enhancement, while image-guided biopsy suggested metanephric adenoma but remained inconclusive. She underwent open partial nephrectomy, and histopathology confirmed metanephric adenoma despite atypical immunohistochemistry. Postoperative recovery was uneventful with preserved renal function, and polycythaemia resolved completely. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of differentiating benign from malignant renal tumours in young patients and supports nephron-sparing surgery as an effective management approach.
