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

introductionMullerianosis is a sporadic condition of the urinary bladder. The study aims to present a case of mullerianosis with a brief literature review. CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old lady presented with hematuria for one-year duration. A general urine examination showed microscopic hematuria. Abdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a soft tissue mass (13 * 10 mm) within the base of the urinary bladder. Cystoscopy showed 1.0 * 1.3 cm benign-looking mass bulging into the posterior bladder wall covered by a normal bladder mucosa. Transurethral resection was done. The histopathological examination was consistent with mullerianosis. DISCUSSION: Two hypotheses have been proposed; the first one (implantation theory) believing that at the time of pelvic surgery and caesarian delivery Mullerian tissues become implanted inside the bladder. The second theory (metaplastic theory) holds the probability of differentiation of Mullerian epithelium to endometrial, endocervical, and tubal components and proliferation in the bladder.

conclusionmullerianosis is a very infrequent entity that mainly affects the urinary bladder and is mainly reported in females during the reproductive period, medical and surgical treatment are both regarded as the management options.
