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

Ureteral cancer is a rare type of neoplasm, with the most prevalent forms including squamous cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Ureteral lymphoma is particularly uncommon, and forming a pre-operative diagnosis of the disease is often difficult. The current study describes the case of a 31-year-old man presenting with a space-occupying lesion located in the left lower ureter. Follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was diagnosed via intraoperative frozen section and post-operative pathological analysis. The affected ureteric segment was excised, and the ureter was repaired by end-to-end anastomosis with insertion of a double-J tube for internal drainage. The patient was followed up for 10 months and presented with no signs of recurrence. The current study affirms the importance of pathological examination in the differential diagnosis of ureteral neoplasms and the selection of an appropriate treatment.
