Efficacy of trametinib in a metastatic urothelial carcinoma patient with a BRAF mutation.
Article in IJU case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: BRAF mutations in bladder cancer are rare. MEK inhibitors have excellent clinical benefits in the treatment of melanoma. Case presentation: A 60-year-old male was diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and underwent total cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion. Despite 4 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy and 3 courses of pembrolizumab, the left obturator lymph node enlarged. Cancer multi-gene panel testing confirmed the BRAF G469A mutation and trametinib was recommended. Three months after the initiation of trametinib (2 mg, qd), the left obturator lymph node shrank by more than 50%. The disease has remained stable for more than 18 months. Conclusion: The present case indicates the potential of trametinib to treat mBUC patients with the BRAF G469A mutation in this setting.
