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

Here, we report a case of a patient in their mid 30s who presented with an elevated creatinine and was found to have a massive bladder diverticulum. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted diverticulectomy. They were later found to have a primary bladder neck obstruction on video urodynamics, and subsequently, underwent bladder neck incision, leading to significant improvement in urinary symptoms. Primary bladder neck obstruction is an overlooked cause of bladder diverticulum. While cystoscopy and cross-sectional imaging are frequently used in the initial evaluation of bladder diverticula, in the absence of an anatomic obstruction such as prostate enlargement, video urodynamics should be performed to assess for primary bladder neck obstruction.
