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

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a unique entity with different histological variants: squamous, glandular, small cell, micropapillary, sarcomatoid, and plasmacytoid. Each of those subtypes behaves differently. As such, and in many scenarios, an accurate histological diagnosis is of paramount importance to dictate the therapeutic approach. We hereby present a unique case of urothelial carcinoma that differentiated into two distinct histological subtypes, squamous and glandular, in three different organs within the genitourinary tract. We also describe the pathological and clinical differences entailed between the two histological variants in bladder and upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.
