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

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare malignant lymphohematopoietic neoplasm; it has been cited in the recent World Health Organization (WHO) classification as a malignant proliferation of cells exhibiting morphological and immunophenotypic features of mature histiocytes. To our knowledge, the present case is the first to be described in the bladder of a patient without a history of lymphoma. Only one case has been reported so far regarding a secondary bladder presentation in the setting of a previous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We discuss the case of a 68-year-old male who presented with hematuria and dysuria. CT scan revealed a 4-cm intravesical mass that histological examination defined as HS. Our objective was to describe the clinical, histological, immunophenotypical, molecular characteristics and discuss the differential diagnoses of this first case of primary bladder HS. Our research was based on a review of selected articles obtained via the PubMed database. This extremely rare experience provided us with the opportunity to depict an interesting case, highlight its uniqueness, and build up new pathological evidence.
