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

backgroundPain is not well described in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC).

objectiveTo characterize pain and assess the content validity of the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-SF) worst pain item in patients with la/mUC receiving first-line treatment in the US.

methodsQualitative interviews were conducted in patients aged≥45 years with confirmed la/mUC, self-reported la/mUC-attributed pain before enrollment, and no major surgery≤3 months prior to being interviewed. Interview participants were asked open-ended questions about their la/mUC symptoms and pain. "Think aloud" cognitive debriefing was conducted for the BPI-SF worst pain item.

resultsTen participants with laUC and six (38%) with mUC were interviewed. First-line treatments included cisplatin (

conclusionsPain attributed to la/mUC impacted physical and daily activities in all participants undergoing first-line treatment for la/mUC. Content validity was demonstrated for the BPI-SF worst pain item in this population.
