Synchronous Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and Ipsilateral Renal Calculus in the Same Kidney: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Urolithiasis is a common urinary tract disorder in adults, yet the synchronous occurrence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and a calculus within the same kidney is seldom reported. We describe a 63-year-old man who presented with right loin pain and was found on evaluation to have RCC with an ipsilateral renal stone. Ultrasonography demonstrated a 3 cm right renal pelvic calculus, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography further revealed a 5.0 × 4.7 × 4.0 cm ipsilateral renal mass. He underwent open partial nephrectomy with concurrent pyelolithotomy, and histopathology confirmed clear-cell RCC with free surgical margins. Synchronous renal calculi and RCC are rare. Management is guided by the clinical stage of the tumor, which also determines the oncological outcome. The two conditions nonetheless share recognized risk factors, such as obesity and hypertension, and a thorough cross-sectional evaluation of patients with renal stones is warranted so that an incidental mass is not overlooked.
