A Case of Urothelial Carcinoma With Squamous Differentiation of the Bladder, Infiltrating the Small Intestine and Rectus Abdominis, Treated With the Use of a Short Gracilis Myocutaneous Flap.

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: Squamous differentiation (SD) occurs in up to 20% of muscle invasive bladder cancers. Case Presentation: An 85-year-old man with an intrapelvic mass invading the bladder, small intestine, and rectus abdominis presented to our department. Cystoscopy showed a necrotic mass at the dome of the bladder. Histopathological examination of specimens from transurethral resection indicated squamous cell carcinoma. Radical cystectomy with resection of the small intestine and rectus abdominis, and reconstruction of the abdominal wall using a left short gracilis myocutaneous flap was performed. The histopathology showed squamous cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma (UC) components; findings consisted of UC with SD. The patient received appropriate flap management and treatment for postoperative complications and was discharged on postoperative Day 100. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of an invasive bladder cancer with SD treated with the use of a short gracilis myocutaneous flap.
