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

Urothelial carcinoma typically metastasizes via a lymphatic route to sites such as lymph nodes, bone, and liver. As in other malignancies, metastasis to skeletal muscle is rare. We present a case of a 66-year-old male with severe muscular pain after diagnosis of upper tract urothelial carcinoma, who was found to have extensive metastasis to skeletal muscles including gluteal, sternocleidomastoid, deltoid, vastus lateralis, and gastrocnemius muscles. Literature review demonstrated 18 previously reported cases of urothelial cell carcinoma with skeletal muscle metastasis, all male and all with bladder involvement. This case emphasizes the importance of thoroughly evaluating all muscular pain in patients with a history of malignancy as it may represent skeletal muscle metastasis with an associated increase in morbidity and mortality.
