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

Primary urethral adenocarcinoma is rare, with limited guidance for management. A 65-year-old male presented with haematuria and urinary retention, found to have a bulbar urethral tumour at the site of previous stricture. Histology demonstrated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from an intestinal-type villous adenoma with high-grade dysplasia. Staging excluded metastatic or alternative primary disease. He underwent subtotal urethrectomy with perineal urethrostomy, achieving clear margins. Mild postoperative stenosis was managed conservatively. At one year, there is no recurrence. This case describes gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma in the setting of urethral stricture disease and highlights tailored surgical management in achieving favourable oncological and functional outcomes.
