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

Primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis is an exceptionally rare malignancy that often mimics chronic stone disease or infected hydronephrosis. We report a 55-year-old man presenting with bilateral flank pain, bilateral nephrolithiasis, and giant right hydronephrosis. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography suggested obstructive infected hydronephrosis caused by a large ureteropelvic junction stone. During surgery, abundant gelatinous mucin and thickened friable renal pelvic mucosa raised suspicion for malignancy. Biopsy and final histopathology confirmed moderately differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma. This case highlights the diagnostic difficulty of this tumor and the importance of intraoperative suspicion and histopathological assessment in longstanding obstructive stone disease.
