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

Urinary bladder diverticula are common and are frequently incidentally discovered. Many downstream complications can occur due to urinary stasis, such as bladder diverticular stones, infection, and malignancy. Understanding the physiology of bladder diverticula and potential pitfalls and mimics is critical to an accurate description of bladder diverticula and early detection of potential downstream complications. This pictorial review will first review the normal bladder histology and function, bladder diverticular types, and typical imaging features. The paper will then draw attention to technical pitfalls and potential mimics. Finally, we will review the downstream complications, including stones, infection, malignancy, and BCG-related changes.
