Sarcomatoid Urothelial Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder With Chondrosarcomatous and Concurrent Divergent Squamous Cell Carcinoma Differentiation- A Rare Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We present an extremely rare case where the sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder was present with chondrosarcomatous and squamous cell differentiation. A 74-year-old male smoker presented with intermittent hematuria with the passage of clots. On imaging, an irregular polypoidal lesion was diagnosed near the right vesicoureteric junction, and transurethral resection of the bladder tumor was performed. Histopathological examination showed sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma with chondrosarcoma and squamous cell differentiation. He refused the surgical treatment of radical cystectomy and underwent Gemcitabine and Cisplatin chemotherapy. He died nine months after the diagnosis. Sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma is a high-grade biphasic neoplasm with malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. Its association with squamous cell carcinoma is infrequent. It is very aggressive, and there is no standard treatment for this disease. The radical surgical option appears to be the main form of treatment. It is scarce with a grave prognosis.
