Micropapillary bladder cancer: an added indication to prophylactic urethrectomy.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
There is little research on the role of urethrectomy during cystectomy in patients with micropapillary bladder cancer (MPBC). We present two cases of MPBC cystectomy and suggest that urethrectomy be performed concurrently as a preventive measure. The first case involved a woman who had a mixed solid and papillary bladder tumour. An anterior pelvic exenteration was performed as well as a total urethrectomy. The T4a micropapillary variant tumour was confirmed by pathology. The second case involved a man with T1 MPBC who was treated with a BCG induction course. A recurrent muscle-invasive MPBC was discovered during follow-up. During the radical cystoprostatectomy, the urethra was spared. T2 MPBC was discovered through pathology. He had a urethrectomy 6 months later due to urethral bleeding, and the pathology revealed micropapillary cancer of the urethra.
