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

backgroundSmall-cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCCB) accounts for 1% of all bladder tumors. We present a rare case of hemorrhagic metastatic brain tumor from SCCB diagnosed by navigation-guided endoscopic biopsy. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 76-year-old man presented with sudden onset of aphasia and right hemiplegia from 3 weeks previously. He had a medical history of prostate cancer and SCCB. Computed tomography showed a mixed density mass in the left basal ganglia. On magnetic resonance imaging, the mass showed mixed intensity in both T1-weighted images and T2-weighted images, suggesting subacute hemorrhage. The mass was partially enhanced with gadolinium. The patient underwent endoscopic hematoma evacuation and partial removal of the tumor. Histopathological diagnosis was neuroendocrine carcinoma, which was consistent with SCCB metastasis. After surgery, the patient underwent whole-brain radiation therapy of 30 Gy. His general condition gradually deteriorated, however, and he died 4 months after surgery.

conclusionOur patient had a rare case of brain metastasis derived from SCCB which presented with cerebral hemorrhage. Navigation-guided endoscopic biopsy was useful for the diagnostic sampling of deep localized brain tumors with hemorrhage.
