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

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in a duplex collecting system (DCS) is a relatively uncommon presentation with unclear management guidelines. Herein, we retrospectively reviewed all published cases of DCS with UTUC aiming to suggest personalized clinical care options for future cases. We conducted a systematic search for all cases of UTUC in DCS from published literature using the following keywords: UTUC, urothelial carcinoma (UC), collecting duct carcinoma, and DCS. The cases were summarized based on demographics, clinical presentation, predisposing risk factors, tumor location, management, and follow-up. We present an additional case based on our experience with a 69-year-old female with high-grade (HG) UTUC of the upper moiety in complete DCS. The patient underwent a robotic upper pole hemi-nephroureterectomy (hemi-NU) with a common sheath distal ureterectomy and a bladder cuff, followed by lower pole ureteral reimplantation. Overall, 34 patients with 35 renal units of UTUC in DCS were included and analyzed. To conclude, UTUC of DCS is rare and underreported. Hence, it is difficult to define a standard treatment. Although hemi-NU has been previously described, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of robot-assisted hemi-NU for complete DCS with single-moiety UC.
