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

A totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) plays a main role in delivering chemotherapy to patients with cancer. A 70-year-old woman with bladder carcinoma presented with a mass over a port chamber of a TIVAP site. CT studies showed a mass surrounding the catheter near the port reservoir attached to the chest wall. The port was removed and the mass was biopsied. The pathology from the biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from bladder carcinoma. We present a rare occurrence of chest wall metastasis at the site of a venous access port from primary bladder carcinoma.
