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

Percutaneous biopsy can be used for tissue diagnosis of bladder tumors when cystoscopy with transurethral resection is not possible. The largest known case series includes 15 patients with no reported complications and good concordance with surgical pathology. However, concern remains regarding exposure of nonurothelial surfaces to tumor cells, as there are rare documented cases of tumor seeding along nephrostomy and biopsy tracts in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UC). We present the first documented human case of bladder cancer involvement of the omentum and peritoneum along a biopsy tract and review the use of percutaneous access for upper and lower tract UC.
