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

We report a case of a 66-year-old male with T2 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) A paraplegia who presented to Urology with worsening autonomic dysreflexia. Work-up identified a bladder mass treated by transurethral resection and pathologically confirmed as melanoma. Additional work-up revealed metastatic melanoma to the back and brain. The patient completely recovered with no evidence of disease more than two years after completing therapy. In this report, we review the presentation of metastatic bladder melanoma presenting with autonomic dysreflexia, which has never been previously described, and discuss the prognosis of metastatic melanoma to the bladder.
