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 an 18-year-old Caucasian male presenting with haematuria and loin pain while working as a locksmith. He was systemically well with normal vital signs. Peripheral blood testing demonstrated renal failure, secondary to hydronephrosis, caused by haemorrhagic cystitis with no obvious cause for the obstruction. The patient was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and treated with antibiotics. He responded well and his renal function improved. Four months later he re-presented with the above symptoms, weight loss and night sweats, bladder wall biopsy at this point confirmed tuberculosis.
