Plasmacytoid variant of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder manifesting as bilateral ureteral and small bowel obstruction.
Article in Urology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare variant of bladder cancer characterized by distinct histopathology and advanced stage at diagnosis. Multimodal treatment is usually indicated. We present a case of PUC causing bilateral ureteral obstruction with subsequent renal failure followed shortly by malignant small bowel obstruction, demonstrating the need for a high degree of clinical suspicion in diagnosis of this aggressive subtype. Moreover, the local invasiveness of the disease cannot be understated, given that it can rapidly spread with little radiologic evidence of progression until it is at an advanced stage.
