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

We report a case of ureteric squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising in a partial duplex left collecting system. An 88-year-old male presented with a flank pain and intermittent haematuria to a metropolitan emergency department. CT showed findings suspicious for obstructing malignancy, which was confirmed on biopsy to be progressive well-differentiated ureteral SCC. Widespread metastases to the cervical, mediastinal and para-aortic lymph nodes, lungs, and the L5 vertebral body were detected on follow-up imaging. The patient passed within the following two months. A high degree of caution should be exercised in patients who have anatomical variants or chronic underlying risk factors.
