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

Bladder carcinoma is a relatively rare carcinoma reported in renal allograft recipients. While many oncogenic viruses have been implicated as causative factors for certain malignancies, questions have been raised about possible role of BK virus in pathogenesis of urothelial cancers. In this report, we have described a patient who developed BK virus nephropathy followed 3 years later by bladder carcinoma. Interestingly, while the tumor tissue demonstrated BK virus, the adjacent normal urothelium was stained negative for BK virus. Considering the viral potential to inhibit tumor suppressors and its differential localization within tumor tissue, it is possible that the virus contributes to tumorigenesis.
