Fatal Bleeding From a Common Iliac Arterio-Ureteral Fistula in an Older Patient.

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
Fatal ureteral bleeding is rare among elderly individuals. One cause of bleeding can be a fistula between the arteries and urinary organs, such as a common iliac arterio-ureteral fistula. However, the clinical presentation of fistulas can vary. As microscopic hematuria can be an initial finding, detecting the fistula without gross hematuria may be difficult. Here, we report a case of microhematuria that progressed to massive hematuria caused by a common iliac arterio-ureteral fistula. The patient was an 86-year-old man with a chief complaint of cardiopulmonary arrest. He was resuscitated in the previous condition. He had microscopic hematuria. One month later, the patient underwent rehabilitation. He was in hemorrhagic shock with massive hematuria. Further investigation revealed a right common iliac arterio-ureteral fistula. This case demonstrates the importance of investigating anemia in the elderly, including anemia of urinary origin, despite it being rare.
