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

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) rarely presents with an inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus. Herein, we report the case of a patient with UC in whom the thrombus embolized to the right atrium during resection. Intraoperative echocardiography identified the large embolus measuring greater than 4 cm and prolapsing through the tricuspid valve. The tumor thrombus was removed via sternotomy. This case is significant for the following learning points: 1) tumor thrombus should be managed with care during removal as it can embolize; 2) intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is vital in these cases; and 3) a multidisciplinary approach including cardiac surgery is imperative to ensure optimal outcomes.
