Urothelial carcinoma metastasis to the appendix as the first manifestation of dissemination after radical cystectomy: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Urothelial carcinoma of the urinary tract is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the 10th most common when both genders are considered. The most common site of malignancy in the urinary tract is the bladder. Radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is considered the best treatment option for patients with advanced urothelial bladder cancer. The most common long-term complication of urinary diversion is the deterioration of renal function, mainly caused by uretero-enteric strictures. Malignant neoplasms of the appendix are rare and metastatic involvement of the appendix during the course of any neoplastic disease is very rare. The current study presents a unique case of a 67-year-old man with urothelial cancer metastasis to the appendix, which was accidentally detected in an inflamed appendix removed during surgical treatment of an uretero-enteric stricture after radical cystectomy. To the best of our knowledge, bladder cancer metastasis to the appendix has not been previously reported as the first manifestation of dissemination. This case report provides evidence expanding the spectrum of known forms of metastatic urothelial carcinoma and may help in the development of guidelines for the surveillance and treatment of bladder cancer.
