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

purposeStudies have shown the increased incidence of urinary tract cancers which are associated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We hypothesized that patients with GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m

methodsRetrospective clinical data and pathology reports were completed for 2116 patients. Patients were divided into two subgroups regarding GFR; the first group with GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m

resultsWe have found significantly higher number of cancers with higher histology grades and higher staging in group of patients with GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionsHigher staging and histology grades in patients with urinary tract cancers are associated with reduced GFR. Reduced GFR in these patients is a risk factor for cancer recurrence and cancer-related survival. Possible involvement of uremic toxins must be taken into account especially when cancers are predominantly located in estrogen sensitive organs. These patients should be intensively monitored and probably be more aggressively treated.
