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

This case report documents the rare occurrence of axillary metastasis in a patient with a history of typical urothelial bladder cancer. Bladder cancer rarely metastasizes to supradiaphragmatic cutaneous tissues, and this presentation confers a poorer prognosis as well as an association with atypical variants of bladder cancer. However, this paper suggests that typical pure urothelial bladder cancer may be just as aggressive as its atypical counterpart. In addition, the work-up of axillary masses in a patient with a history of bladder cancer, whether typical or variant, should include metastatic disease as part of the differential diagnosis and guide treatment strategies.
