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

Urologic oncologic emergencies represent a relatively narrow yet diverse group of critical conditions that require prompt recognition and intervention to prevent potentially life-threatening complications. These oncologic emergencies may arise as direct consequences of a malignancy, including local invasion, or as sequelae of surgical or therapeutic interventions. Common urologic emergencies include malignant obstructive uropathy or ureteral obstruction, which may lead to urosepsis or acute kidney injury; large volume hematuria and hemorrhagic cystitis, which both can result in substantial blood loss; renal hemorrhage, which can lead to hemodynamic instability; fistula formation; and postsurgical urinary leaks. Radiologists play a key role in promptly detecting and evaluating such emergencies and can help differentiate expected post-treatment findings from urgent or potentially life-threatening complications. Imaging not only helps to diagnose these emergencies but can also guide subsequent management strategies and thus is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. This review article aims to highlight the clinical and multi-modality imaging manifestations of urologic oncologic emergencies and their potential management strategies.
