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

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is best known to occur in the nasopharynx. When LELC occurs in the urinary tract, this extremely rare neoplasm most commonly affects the bladder but has also been reported in the renal pelvis, ureter, prostate [1], and urethra [2]. We present a case of LELC arising in the right proximal ureter of a 64-year-old male patient with hydronephrosis and nausea. Computed tomography demonstrated right ureter tumor. On biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with infiltrating urothelial carcinoma. An operation consisting of right nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff removal was carried out. The pathologic examination showed pure subtype of LELC, pT3N0. Unlike lymphoepithelioma in the nasopharynx, immunohistochemical analysis of this urinary LELC was negative for the Epstein-Barr virus. No disease progression was noted at 6 months' follow-up. Only eight previous cases of LELC involving the ureter have been reported, and a review of the available literature and a summary of ureter cases are presented here. This is the first report of a ureteral LELC case and third urothelial LELC cases [3] in Taiwan.
