Invasive Mycobacterium bovis Infection Outside the Genitourinary Tract Following Bacille Calmette-Guerin Therapy for Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer.

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
Bladder cancer significantly impacts global health, particularly non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), which is typically treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. While there is evidence that BCG can effectively prevent tumor recurrence and progression, it can cause adverse effects, including disseminated infection, necessitating the exclusion of active tuberculosis and the assessment of immunosuppressive conditions before treatment. We present two cases of disseminated BCG infection. The first involves an 85-year-old male who developed an abscess in his right thigh post-BCG therapy, successfully treated with isoniazid (INH), ethambutol, and rifampin. The second case is a 63-year-old male who, three years post-BCG therapy and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, developed a right psoas abscess and a mycotic aneurysm. He was also treated with ethambutol, INH, and rifampin, in addition to surgical intervention. Effective management of BCG-related infections requires early identification of
