Melanosis of bladder: A rare entity.
Article in Urology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Melanosis of the bladder, also known as melanosis vesicae, refers to presence of pigment in bladder mucosa. A rare phenomenon, however, it can be confused with the primary or metastatic melanoma of the bladder. Therefore, knowledge of the entity can prevent over diagnosis of this benign entity. We are reporting a case of melanosis of bladder in a 69 year old male with prolonged history of LUTS and bladder diverticulae. Cystoscopic examination showed black patches and biopsy revealed pigmentation in the epithelium and underlying lamina propria. Special stains identified the pigment to be melanin. No malignant cells were identified.
