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

backgroundEosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (ESC-RCC) is an under-recognized, emerging new entity of sporadic renal neoplasms, which is listed as a rare type of renal cell carcinoma in the 2022 WHO renal tumor classification. It is easily misdiagnosed because its characteristics are insufficiently understood. CASE PRESENTATION: We report one case of ESC-RCC, a 53-year-old female patient with a right kidney mass found during clinical examination. The patient experienced no discomforting symptoms. Computer-tomography imaging at our urinary department showed a round soft tissue density shadow around the right kidney. Microscopic examination revealed a tumor displaying a solid-cystic composition of eosinophilic cells with unique features, revealed by characteristic immunohistochemical markers (CK20-positive/CK7-negative), and a nonsense mutation in TSC2. Ten months after the renal tumor resection, the patient presented in good condition with no recurrence or metastasis.

conclusionsThe distinct morphological, immunophenotypic, and molecular characteristics of ESC-RCC we describe here, based on our case and the relevant literature, highlight the key points of the pathological and differential diagnosis of this novel renal neoplasm. Our findings will therefore deepen our understanding of this novel renal neoplasm and help reduce misdiagnosis.
