Diagnosing Urothelial Carcinoma from Delirium: A Near Miss.
Article in Gerontology & geriatric medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of delirium in the elderly. Although diagnosis of delirium secondary to UTI is relatively straightforward, a lack of thorough investigation could result in missing underlying factors and medical conditions that may require immediate clinical/surgical intervention. Case of a 77-year-old male with delirium diagnosis and multiple psychiatric hospital admissions is reported here. This patient with multiple medical disorders and anxiety was admitted to psychiatric facilities on three different occasions with multiple psychiatric diagnoses including delirium. After a month of hospital stay and thorough medical and radiological examinations, the cause of refractory delirium was identified as multifactorial including urothelial carcinoma. Although UTI and urinary retention are common in the elderly, this case shows the importance of multifactorial diagnoses in cases of prolonged or refractory delirium to avoid delays in appropriate treatment.
