Bladder malignancy as a cause of spontaneous bladder rupture: A systematic review.
Review in BJUI compass, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Objectives: To characterise cases of spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder in the context of bladder cancer. Methods: A systematic review was performed to characterise cases of spontaneous bladder rupture in patients with bladder cancer. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) system was utilised, with databases being searched for relevant cases. Patient characteristics were extracted, including age, sex, presenting signs and symptoms, management modalities, tumour histology and mortality. Results: Thirty cases were included. Seventeen (57%) were male, and the median age of presentation was 59. Abdominal pain and peritonism were the most common presenting symptoms, in 80% and 60% of patients, respectively. Most patients ( Conclusion: Spontaneous bladder perforation in the context of bladder cancer is a rare cause of acute abdomen. The diagnosis is associated with high mortality, highlighting the aggressive nature of the malignancies that cause spontaneous bladder rupture. This raises important questions about the role of emergency cystectomy, the timing of systemic therapy and the appropriate involvement of palliative care.
