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

introductionPrimary urethral carcinoma is a rare disease with overall poorer outcomes in the past. It is relatively more uncommon in female sex. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We present a case of a female with primary urethral carcinoma that presented atypically as a vulval mass without any features of storage, voiding lower urinary tract symptoms, or gross haematuria. DISCUSSION: As primary urethral carcinoma is rare in occurrence, prospective studies are limited so as the recommendations to guide treatment options. Treatment recommendations are still on development from different small-scale studies as well as from data in higher volume centers. Management options depends on location, extent, histology of the lesion as well as on sex of the patient and fitness of the patient.

conclusionEarly diagnosis and treatment with multidisciplinary consult and multimodality will improve the overall survival rate and quality of life of the patients.
