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

Introduction: En-bloc resection of bladder tumors is performed for bladder cancer with the goal of achieving precise tumor resection and providing an informative pathology specimen. We report the first case of a safely resected bladder paraganglioma by en-bloc resection. Case presentation: A 57-year-old woman presented with an incidental bladder tumor detected on computed tomography. Cystoscopy revealed a 10 mm submucosal tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated a suspected bladder paraganglioma, whereas endocrinological tests showed no abnormalities. The tumor was completely resected in one piece without an intraoperative increase in blood pressure or bladder perforation. Pathological examination revealed a bladder paraganglioma with negative surgical margins. No evidence of recurrence was observed at 9 months follow-up. Conclusion: En-bloc resection of bladder tumors may be a useful approach for selected cases of bladder paragangliomas, potentially decreasing the risk of intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations and ensuring complete tumor resection.
