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

Primary lymphoma of the urinary bladder is extremely rare. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman diagnosed with primary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the urinary bladder. The patient presented with macroscopic hematuria. Renal ultrasound revealed a solid vascularized mass, in the inferior wall of the bladder. Pelvic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of a polypoid lesion on the left side of the inferior bladder wall, measuring 40x45 mm, and the MRI study with gadolinium revealed that the entire bladder wall was involved. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, demonstrating a histologic extensive involvement of bladder tissue by MALT lymphoma. The patient was treated with radiotherapy (24 Gy in 12 fractions) and four cycles of rituximab. She remained without evidence of disease 12 months later.
