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

We present the case of a 29-year-old male who presented to the office with three years of persistent lower urinary tract symptoms and hematuria. On workup, the patient was determined to have an atypical condition contributing to his symptoms. There are numerous causes of lower urinary tract symptoms that can occur in young men. These symptoms, including frequency, urgency, dysuria, and hematuria, are typically caused by common benign conditions such as urethritis, urolithiasis, and urinary tract infections. Prostatic pathology does not typically manifest in this population. Likewise, a more serious condition such as a mass or carcinoma may contribute to persistent lower urinary tract symptoms and hematuria less often in young men. In our patient, a benign mass later identified as cystitis cystica et glandularis was discovered to be contributing to his reported discomfort.
