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

Multifocal renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), together with angiomyolipomas (AMLs) and renal cysts, were identified in early adult life in two sisters with tuberous sclerosis (TSC). They were members of a multigenerational tuberous sclerosis family showing strong evidence for a mutant TSC causing gene on chromosome 9 (TSC1). Previous reports of multifocal RCC in young patients with TSC suggest that constitutional mutations at the TSC loci may predispose to RCC. In the rat a germline mutation affecting the TSC2 gene is associated with transmission of multifocal RCC as an autosomal dominant trait. However, the cases reported here are the first to suggest a similar role for the TSC1 gene in renal cell carcinogenesis.
