Sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis: A case report and literature review.
Article in Urology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma (SUC) of the renal pelvis is a rare, highly aggressive upper tract urothelial carcinoma variant. We report a 67-year-old man with persistent fever, gross hematuria, leukocytosis, and a renal pelvic mass with hydronephrosis and calculi. Fever persisted despite antimicrobial therapy and nephrostomy drainage until radical nephroureterectomy was performed. Postoperatively, fever and inflammatory indices normalized but recurred 1 month later; by 3 months, CT showed multiple intra-abdominal metastases with leukocytosis and neutrophilia. The patient died 4 months after surgery. This case suggests that persistent or recurrent fever with leukocytosis may reflect tumor activity rather than infection.
