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 diverticula are herniations of the bladder mucosa through the muscular layer and can be congenital or acquired. Acquired bladder diverticula are almost always associated with bladder outlet obstruction. Bladder diverticula are uncommon and often asymptomatic, however, can present with non-specific lower urinary tract symptoms, haematuria, or urinary tract infection. We report a rare case of a large bladder diverticulum causing extrinsic left ureteric compression in a 37-year-old male with a high bladder neck presenting as left flank pain and hydronephrosis. A bladder neck incision successfully resolved voiding symptoms and decompressed the diverticulum leading to resolution of ureteric obstruction.
