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

Urothelial melanosis is an exceptionally rare diagnosis, with less than 25 cases being reported in the literature. Melanosis of the urothelium is characterized by abnormal melanin deposition within tissues, producing a black, velvety appearance to the urothelial mucosa. We present a 67-year-old male undergoing cystoscopy during a routine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), who was found to have diffuse bladder melanosis extending up the ureter and into the renal pelvis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of synchronous melanosis of upper and lower urinary tract.
