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

backgroundPrimary malignant melanoma (PMM) of the bladder represents a very rare clinic-pathologic entity. Given the rarity of the disease, the best treatment option is not well recognized. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of neoplasm of the bladder in a 74 years-old Caucasian man presenting with massive hematuria. Based on clinical, instrumental and histological findings a diagnosis of PMM was made. The patient underwent trans urethral resection of bladder tumor plus intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin.

conclusionsTo make a correct diagnosis, clinical history, endoscopic evaluation, histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry, are necessary. Multidisciplinary evaluation is required to discriminate primary from metastatic malignant melanoma.
