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

backgroundThis study aimed to compare the clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes between patients with primary renal malignancies with pathologically diagnosed nephropathy (PRMN) and those with isolated primary renal malignancies (IPRMs).

methodsWe enrolled 31 patients with PRMN and 31 matched controls with IPRM between 2013 and 2023. Clinical characteristics, tumour pathological features, therapeutic interventions and prognostic outcomes were systematically analysed. Nephropathy was diagnosed by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and light microscopy.

resultsPatients in the PRMN group were younger, with a higher proportion of males and those with a smoking history. Preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine (Scr) were significantly higher in the PRMN group than in the IPRM group, while estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly lower. Peritumoural renal tissues in the PRMN group showed more severe pathological changes, including global glomerulosclerosis (GS), segmental glomerulosclerosis (SS), and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA). Tumour treatment modalities did not differ significantly between groups. However, the PRMN group had a significantly higher all-cause mortality rate (19.4% vs. 0%,

conclusionsPatients with PRMN exhibited distinct clinicopathological characteristics, factors associated with disease progression, and a higher incidence of adverse outcomes compared to those with IPRM.
