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

introductionUrothelial neoplasms with a varus growth pattern are rare, and few urologists have encountered inverted urothelial carcinoma of the ureter. CASE PRESENTATION: An 82-year-old man was referred to our hospital for investigation of gross hematuria. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed nodules measuring 1-2 mm in diameter in the left upper ureter with slight reduction in signal intensity on diffusion-weighted imaging. Ureteroscopy showed a pedunculated smooth tumor that had the appearance of an inverted papilloma rather than the papillary shape typical of urothelial carcinoma. The tumor was biopsied and histopathological examination revealed a noninvasive, low-grade urothelial carcinoma with inverted multiple layers. Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy was subsequently performed, and a pedunculated tumor measuring 20 mm in diameter was found in the left upper ureter. The histopathological diagnosis was inverted papillary urothelial carcinoma, low-grade, pTa, pN0.

conclusionThis report provides the first clinical description of inverted papillary urothelial carcinoma of the ureter.
