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 39-year-old woman with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra (CCAU). She was treated with surgery alone and has survived 8 years without recurrence. The patient had painless hematuria. Imaging showed a 5.1 cm urethral mass. The tumor invaded the bladder and vagina (clinical stage T3N2M0). Urine cytology confirmed the diagnosis, which is unusual for CCAU. She underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy, lymph node dissection, and cutaneous ureterostomy. Pathology showed clear cell adenocarcinoma with CK7+/PAX8+. The final pathological stage was T3N0M0. She did not receive adjuvant therapy. Follow-up through January 2025 (8 years) showed no tumor recurrence, which appears to be rare among reported cases.
