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
A 76-year-old gentleman with a background of benign prostatic hyperplasia, hiatus hernia and anxiety was referred to the rapid access haematuria service following an episode of painless visible haematuria. Flexible cystoscopy did not reveal any concerning bladder lesions. CT Urogram demonstrated a horseshoe kidney with a filling defect in the left upper pole moiety suspicious for an urothelial carcinoma. The patient was subsequently referred to the urology services in a tertiary centre. Flexible ureterorenoscopy was performed, with findings of a likely urothelial carcinoma corresponding to the suspicious area on imaging. Biopsy of this lesion revealed a low grade urothelial cancer. The patient proceeded to have a laparoscopic left heminephroureterectomy with an open bladder cuff. The patient recovered well and urinary catheter was removed Day 12 post procedure after the performance of a cystogram. Histology revealed a favourable pTa low grade malignancy, and the patient will require ongoing follow-up moving forward. This case report highlights the operative intricacies in managing patients with horseshoe kidney due to anatomic variations associated with this condition.
