Polymyalgia rheumatica and remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema following intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin.

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 instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) after transurethral cancer resection is an approved part of the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The onset of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) following this immunotherapy is anecdotal. We report the case of a 69-year-old male patient suffering from boxing-glove swelling of the hand associated with bilateral pain, aching and stiffness in the shoulders and pelvic girdles, which occurred after a cycle of six intravesical instillations of BCG. Polymyalgia rheumatica associated with RS3PE was diagnosed, prednisone therapy started and definitively stopped after 13 months. During a 16-year follow-up, no alternative diagnosis was possible. The role of genetic factors and of the senescence of the immune system is discussed. According to our best knowledge, this is the first case report of PMR associated with RS3PE following intravesical instillation of BCG.
