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

backgroundHepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is rare in the urinary system, with only 7 reported cases in upper urinary tract. This report aimed to explore the genetic characteristics of ureteral HAC for first time, and to describe the treatment prognosis of ureteral HAC. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a rare case of ureteral HAC in a 53-year-old female, showing elevated serum levels of AFP and CEA, prolonged chronic irritation may be an important cause of her ureteral HAC. Radical nephroureterectomy was performed, the serum levels of AFP and CEA decreased significantly, and metastasis in lymph nodes was found at 9 months after surgery, she had no related symptoms after 18 months postoperatively without adjuvant chemotherapy. Three driver somatic mutations in cancer were identified by NGS testing, including: TP53

conclusionsWe report a rare case of ureteral HAC with elevated serum levels of AFP and CEA. NGS testing demonstrated that ureteral HAC has the similar mutational features to upper tract urothelial carcinoma, which is an important guide for the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral HAC.
