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

Müllerianosis of the bladder is an extremely rare and highly symptomatic bladder tumour comprising of at least two types of Müllerian derived tissues. We present the case of a 59-year-old woman presenting with painful macroscopic haematuria associated with urgency, frequency and incontinence. She is a nulliparous postmenopausal woman without malignancy risk factors or previous abdominal surgery. Initially identified on ultrasound scan, she was taken for transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). Histology confirms the diagnosis. Repeat TURBT was required for non-resolution of symptoms. Despite a thorough resection, symptoms recurred within months necessitating partial cystectomy. Although a 'benign' lesion, this lesion proved a difficult condition to treat requiring partial cystectomy.
