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

Introduction: We report a rare case of marked rectal stenosis due to Douglas' pouch metastasis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma successfully treated with enfortumab vedotin. Case presentation: A 77-year-old female presented with difficulty in defecation and abdominal distension. She had received two courses of cisplatin plus gemcitabine followed by four courses of maintenance avelumab for postoperative lymph node metastasis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma. KL-6 levels were elevated, and a computed tomography scan revealed an irregularly shaped large mass occupying Douglas' pouch, with marked rectal stenosis. Metastatic urothelial carcinoma was pathologically diagnosed, and enfortumab vedotin was initiated after colostomy. After 12 courses of enfortumab vedotin, metastatic lesions showed marked shrinkage and KL-6 levels decreased. Conclusion: Enfortumab vedotin elicited a remarkable response in treating rectal stenosis due to metastasis of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma in Douglas' pouch. Furthermore, serum KL-6 levels were correlated with the severity of metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
