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

Papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) is a rare renal tumor with distinct histomorphologic features and a strong association with KRAS exon 2 mutations, typically at codon 12. We report two cases that expand the molecular spectrum of this entity. The first tumor, a 3.5 cm mass in a 51-year-old female, harbored the classic KRAS codon 12 mutation (p.G12V), whereas the second, a 2.0 cm mass in a 77-year-old female, exhibited a KRAS p.Q61K mutation, rarely reported in PRNRP. Both tumors showed characteristic histology (tubulopapillary architecture, eosinophilic cytoplasm, apical nuclear polarity) and immunoprofile (GATA3+, CK7+, SDHB-retained, FH-retained). Next-generation sequencing using a 505-gene cancer panel also detected additional alterations in FLT3, POLD1, KMT2C, and WHSC1, the significance of which remains uncertain currently but may emerge with more molecular data from additional PRNRP cases. These findings underscore the value of integrated histopathologic and molecular evaluation, highlight KRAS Q61K as a rare variant, and provide a foundation for future genomic studies in this tumor type.
