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

Metastasis to the supraclavicular lymph nodes usually originate from primary tumours in the head and neck, breast or abdomen. Infradiaphragmatic tumours very rarely metastasise to these nodes. Transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs), also termed urothelial carcinomas, account for ⁓90% of all ureteral cancers; exceptionally few cases have reported such cancers spreading to the supraclavicular fossae. We present the case of a 65-year-old male who was being investigated for gallstones and was subsequently found to have metastatic bony lesions and widespread adenopathy on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Initially, the primary cancer was an area of contention between clinicians, as radiologists suggested it was of urological origin, but the bladder multidisciplinary team felt the scans did not fulfil this notion. Ultimately, histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic TCC.
