A case of Pott's disease with epidural abscess and probable cerebral tuberculoma following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy for superficial bladder cancer.

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
Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy is an accepted treatment for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Carcinoma in situ of the bladder progresses to invasive muscular disease in approximately 54% of untreated patients, mandating early initiation of therapy once the diagnosis is confirmed. Should BCG treatment fail, an additional course of BCG combined with interferon-alpha, both administered intravesically, is a promising second-line immunotherapy. In greater than 95% of patients, BCG is tolerated without significant morbidity or mortality. However, both early (within three months of the original treatment) and late presentations of systemic infection resulting from intravesical BCG treatment have been described. The present study describes the course of a 75-year-old man with a late presentation of BCG vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, epidural abscess, bilateral psoas abscesses and probable cerebral tuberculoma, following treatment regimens of intravesical BCG followed by intravesical BCG plus interferon-alpha 2b.
