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

Background: Urachal tumors are exceedingly rare, and adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant urachal neoplasm. Here, an especially rare patient of primary urachal leiomyosarcoma from our hospital was reported, and only five patients have been reported thus far since 1981. Case description: A 24-year-old man was admitted due to urinary tract symptoms. Both urogenital ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a mass at the dome of the urinary bladder. Laparoscopic surgical resection was performed, and histopathologic examination of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of urachal leiomyosarcoma. No recurrence was noted after one and a half years. Conclusions: Because the leiomyosarcoma located in the extraperitoneal space of Retzius and may manifest with nonspecific abdominal or urinary symptoms, early and definitive preoperative diagnosis is challenging. Partial cystectomy with complete excision of the urachus is recommended. Because only a few patients have been recorded, clinical outcomes and recurrence risks are difficult to assess.
