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

Breast carcinoma metastatic to the bladder is rare and accounts for approximately 3% of all secondary bladder neoplasms. We examine a case of breast cancer metastatic to the bladder with normal findings at cystoscopy. A 53-year-old woman with a history of breast carcinoma presented with a 6-month history of severe urgency and urgency incontinence. Treatment with multiple antimuscarinic therapies was unsuccessful. Vaginal examination demonstrated a non-mobile uterus with a suggestion of parametrial thickening. Urodynamic studies confirmed detrusor overactivity. CT showed a thickened bladder wall and cystoscopy revealed normal bladder mucosa with reduced bladder capacity. Bladder biopsies identified a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with strong oestrogen receptor staining. This was reported as a secondary deposit from a primary breast malignancy. The patient is currently under the care of the breast team and undergoing palliative chemotherapy.
