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 leiomyoma is a rare condition in pediatric and adolescent age groups, accounting for less than 1% of all bladder tumors, presenting a diverse array of histologic types and prevalence. Furthermore, bladder leiomyoma's prevalence is even more seldom with only five reported cases till the present day. Common presentation depends on the localisation and the affected layer in the bladder, urinary outlet or ureteral obstruction, irritative voiding symptoms, pelvic pain, and hematuria are the most common presentations of this condition. Diagnostic, treatment, and follow-up protocols in this entity are not well-established due to their rare occurrence in this age group. After complete surgical excision, the prognosis is excellent and the risk of recurrence is reported to be very low. Up to the present day, no instances of malignant transformation or metastasis have been documented in the literature. This case report aims to enhance current knowledge of the radiological, pathological, and clinical features of bladder leiomyoma in a 15-year-old female patient. The main complaint was lower urinary tract symptoms. An incidental solid bladder mass was discovered during the evaluation with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Afterwards, cystoscopy confirmed a 5-centimeter solid mass at the right wall of the bladder, and transurethral piecemeal resection was performed. The bladder mass was found to be intramural, and complete endoscopic resection was considered safe and efficient during the surgery. No complications or recurrence occurred in the postoperative setting.
