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

Introduction: Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma rarely causes spontaneous renal hemorrhage and enhances weakly on computed tomography. We report a case in which the tumor was masked by a perirenal hematoma for 11 months. Case Presentation: A 46-year-old woman presented with spontaneous renal hemorrhage and no visible renal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 6 months showed an enhancing lesion indistinguishable from organizing hematoma; because it was shrinking with the hematoma, observation was continued. At 11 months, the hematoma had resolved and a 25-mm solid mass remained. Partial nephrectomy revealed pT1a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma without necrosis or sarcomatoid differentiation. She remained recurrence-free at 5 years. Conclusion: This case demonstrates spontaneous rupture of a small tumor without aggressive pathological features. When the cause of spontaneous renal hemorrhage remains unclear, serial imaging should be considered until hematoma resolution to avoid missing an occult malignancy.
