Unusual Presentation of Bladder Cancer in a Young Male With Significant Tattoo Exposure: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recent studies have shown that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be found in commercial black tattoo inks raising suspicion of tattoo-related PAHs exposure to cancer risk. We present a case of a 27-year-old Hispanic nonsmoker male with bladder cancer (BC) following extensive tattoo sessions totaling over 100 hours. The patient was treated with transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) and adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy. Although the oncogenesis of urothelial tumors in young patients is unclear, multiple environmental and genetic factors may contribute to the etiology. This case report underscores the importance of conducting toxicological and epidemiological studies on PAHs and emphasizes the need for increased documentation of tattoos in patients diagnosed with BC.
