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

Urachal adenocarcinoma (UA) represents a rare subset of bladder tumors involving a urachal remnant. Incidental gross hematuria is often the only presenting symptom, with patients often presenting late in their course, thereby imparting an overall poor prognosis. Although there are prior case reports, there is little literature reported and no standardized treatment guidelines. We report a case of a middle-aged male who presented with incidental gross hematuria after a fall. Workup indicated the presence of a calcified bladder dome mass and pathology reported a primary urachal adenocarcinoma with pelvic nodal involvement. Patient underwent surgical resection and subsequent adjuvant, systemic chemotherapy regimen with leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). We hope to bring greater awareness to this rare cause of bladder malignancy.
