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

Small bowel obstruction secondary to primary cancer, such as carcinoid and adenocarcinoma, is not unusual. Less frequently, hematological metastasis from breast, lung, and melanoma can occur. However, metastasis from urothelial bladder carcinoma is extremely rare. In this index case, we describe a 71-year-old Caucasian man with a prior history of urothelial bladder carcinoma. He was treated successfully with chemoradiation and local resection a year prior to his current presentation with small bowel obstruction which required surgical resection of a loop of jejunum, which was found to be caused by obstructive, metastatic urothelial bladder carcinoma on pathology. Therefore, one should consider the possibility of secondary obstructive malignant lesions arising from the urinary bladder in such a patient when presented with bowel obstruction and a history of urothelial bladder carcinoma.
