Layer upon layer: Imaging techniques of bladder matrix stone: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Matrix lithiasis within the bladder is an extremely rare and diagnostically challenging condition, characterized by its atypical presentation and complex imaging appearance. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman with nonspecific urinary symptoms, including hematuria and abdominal pain. Initial ultrasonography revealed an echogenic lesion on the bladder wall, leading to further investigations using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CT imaging initially delineated the lesion's structure, revealing a complex, multilayered cystic mass. Subsequent MRI provided detailed insights into the internal architecture of the mass, further elucidating its layered structure. Although a parasitic etiology was initially suspected, matrix lithiasis was later confirmed. This case highlights the critical role of a comprehensive imaging strategy in diagnosing rare urological conditions and emphasizes the importance of multimodal imaging in differentiating potential diagnoses.
