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

Urachal carcinoma is a rare malignant epithelial neoplasm with an estimated incidence of one in 5 million people. Due to the rarity of these cases, no universally accepted staging system or standardized surgical and oncological treatment protocols currently exist. En bloc surgical resection of the umbilicus, urachal ligament, and involved portion of the bladder remains the preferred treatment. The addition of adjuvant chemotherapy may be considered in the setting of metastatic disease. Here, we present a case of urachal adenocarcinoma in a 67-year-old male who initially presented with purulent umbilical drainage.
