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

Bladder stones are rare in women. This report presents the case of a woman with a massive bladder stone and incarcerated procidentia. The 75-year-old woman presented to the outpatient clinic with procidentia and recurrent urinary tract infections. Preoperative imaging led to the diagnosis of cystolithiasis. After multidisciplinary counseling the patient underwent a vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy and transvaginal vesicolithotomy. A bladder biopsy was performed to rule out any malignancy. After three days, the patient was discharged with a Foley catheter; 15 days later, the bladder catheter was removed. She had an uncomplicated postoperative course. The presence of cystolithiasis and pelvic organ prolapse remains a challenge both in diagnosis and in treatment. The literature lacks solid evidence on the optimal management of these cases. Although there are no recommendations or consensus for their treatment, it seems that the one-step vaginal approach is preferable to the abdominal route.
