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
introductionThe advent of pembrolizumab has contributed to improved treatment outcomes for metastatic urothelial carcinoma, but the outcomes of treatments after second-line treatment have not been established. CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital with gross hematuria and diagnosed with suspicion of bladder cancer cT1N0M0. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor was performed, but local recurrence and multiple lung metastases appeared 5 months after surgery. Although gemcitabine-cisplatin was performed as first-line chemotherapy, the local lesion increased, and pembrolizumab was used as a second-line treatment. Pembrolizumab was also ineffective; however, re-challenge with gemcitabine-cisplatin as third-line treatment produced a good therapeutic effect.
conclusionWe report a successful case in which gemcitabine-cisplatin re-challenge after pembrolizumab therapy was effective in metastatic bladder cancer. Re-administration of chemotherapy after immune checkpoint inhibitors may be a broadly effective treatment option.
