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

While the historical benefits of hydrogen peroxide on wounds and wound healing have recently been questioned, physicians have started to explore its other potential medicinal benefits. We present a case of a 14-year-old girl who presented to our urology unit with macroscopic haematuria and clot retention. Ultrasonography confirmed a large organised intravesical blood clot. Despite numerous attempts, manual bladder irrigation was unsuccessful and caused significant discomfort to the patient. Her clot retention was relieved after 4 irrigation cycles with a 3 % hydrogen peroxide solution. She experienced no complications or side effects post intravesical instillation of hydrogen peroxide.
