Bowel visualization on the lymphoscintigraphy images of a bladder cancer patient due to inadvertent injection of the tracer in the rectal wall.

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
The effectiveness of the sentinel lymph node mapping in patients with Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder is under investigation. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and intraoperative sentinel node biopsy using gamma probe are performed to detect the exact location of the sentinel lymph node to be dissected during the surgery. In this case report, a 73-year old man with high grade urothelial carcinoma was referred to our nuclear medicine department for SPECT/CT, four hours after injection of the radiotracer through cystoscopy. SPECT/CT could not reveal any sentinel node; however, one sentinel lymph node was detected and harvested in the right external iliac region during surgery. SPECT/CT revealed unusual accumulation of tracer in large bowel which was due to severe adhesion of rectum and bladder, and inadvertent injection of the radiotracer into the rectal wall. During the sentinel lymph node procedure, the tracer should be injected with extreme caution and lymphoscintigraphy post injection may help detection of any injection failures.
