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

Introduction: We report a case in which combination therapy with enfortumab vedotin (EV) and pembrolizumab proved effective in treating non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) accompanied by multiple bone metastases. Case Presentation: A 61-year-old man with NMIBC underwent eight transurethral resections of bladder tumor (TURBTs) at another hospital over 4 years. During the eighth TURBT, carcinoma in situ was detected, and the patient was treated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. A computed tomography scan performed at our hospital 1.5 years after BCG therapy revealed multiple osteosclerotic lesions. Cystoscopy and bladder magnetic resonance imaging revealed no obvious tumorous lesions. An incisional biopsy of the sternum confirmed the diagnosis of multiple bone metastases originating from NMIBC. The patient was started on combination therapy with EV and pembrolizumab. After 5 months, bone scintigraphy revealed decreased accumulation. Conclusion: Combination therapy with EV and pembrolizumab was also effective in treating NMIBC with multiple bone metastases.
