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

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the ninth most diagnosed cancer worldwide, and pericardial dissemination is uncommon. In this case report, we describe the case of a patient in a complete response after chemotherapy with cisplatin/gemcitabine and maintenance avelumab that presented with cardiac tamponade, posteriorly confirmed to be caused by pericardial involvement by UC, and the case of a patient with UC with peritoneal metastasis at diagnosis under carboplatin/gemcitabine treatment, whose disease progressed with pericardial metastasis. The clinical documentation of pericardial metastasis in living patients is rare, and the management of this condition is still not well defined. Therefore, the description of these cases is important to raise awareness of pericardial involvement as a possible manifestation of UC.
