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

Background: Pediatric cystic nephroma (pCN) is a rare renal neoplasm associated with Case Description: We retrospectively analyzed 5 patients with pCN treated between November 2020 and November 2024. Clinical data, imaging, surgical approaches (including robot-assisted laparoscopy), pathological findings, and genetic results were reviewed. The cohort comprised 3 males and 2 females, with a median age of 13 months (range, 7-86 months). Three patients were asymptomatic, with tumors detected incidentally during routine examinations (including one prenatal diagnosis at 6 months gestation); the remaining two presented with palpable abdominal masses. Radiological assessment confirmed multilocular cystic architecture in all cases. Surgical management was tailored to preoperative imaging characteristics and intraoperative findings, consisting of 2 open radical nephrectomies, 1 open partial nephrectomy, and 2 robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomies. Pathology confirmed pCN in all cases. Comprehensive genetic testing revealed paired germline and somatic Conclusions: pCN is a rare entity associated with
