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

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are rare neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential that closely resemble other more aggressive spindle cell tumours. The distinction of IMT from the latter is of importance. We report a case of IMT in a 27-year-old man who presented with intermittent painless, macroscopic haematuria and was found to have a large bladder mass arising from the dome of the bladder. The tumour was resected transurethrally, and histology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with an IMT of the bladder. Our patient remained asymptomatic at follow-up 3 months later, when cystoscopy noted no regrowth of the residual tumour. Transurethral resection resection of bladder tumour, partial cystectomy and radical cystectomy form the mainstay of treatment of IMT. However, the optimal management of this condition remains uncertain due to the sparsity of reported cases.
