Rapidly Progressive Retroperitoneal Dissemination of Plasmacytoid Urothelial Carcinoma Presenting With Multiorgan Obstruction After Radical Cystectomy: A Case Report.
Article in IJU 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
Introduction: Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC) is a rare, aggressive subtype of bladder cancer characterized by diffuse infiltrative growth and a propensity for peritoneal and retroperitoneal dissemination. Case Presentation: A patient with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (cT3N1M0) was diagnosed with conventional high-grade urothelial carcinoma without subtype histology on transurethral resection. After neoadjuvant gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy, robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder reconstruction was performed. Final pathological examination revealed PUC (pT4aN2). Within weeks after surgery, the patient developed sequential retroperitoneal fluid accumulation, bilateral hydronephrosis, duodenal obstruction, and biliary obstruction, suggesting rapid diffuse retroperitoneal progression. Enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab was initiated; however, the disease progressed aggressively, and the patient died on postoperative day 80. Conclusion: PUC may evade detection on initial TUR and can progress rapidly through diffuse retroperitoneal dissemination even after radical cystectomy. Early postoperative, unexplained multiorgan obstructive findings should raise suspicion of occult progression and prompt timely initiation of systemic therapy.
