Aggressive Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma in an HIV-Positive Male With Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction due to Spina Bifida: An Autopsy Case.
Article in IJU case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord injury are at increased risk of developing bladder urothelial carcinoma due to urinary tract infections. The contribution of HIV infection is unknown in this group of patients. Case Presentation: A spina bifida male patient with macrohematuria and recurrent urinary tract infection was detected with bladder carcinoma covered with soft tissue thickening and was clinically diagnosed cT3N2M1. He was also diagnosed with HIV infection. Despite the treatment with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin, he developed infective endocarditis and a cerebral infarction. He died 3 months after the initiation of chemotherapy. Conclusions: This case highlights a rare case of aggressive bladder carcinoma developed in an HIV-positive male with spina bifida, who had never used an indwelling catheter or intermittent catheterization. HIV-positive men tend to have a higher incidence of bladder cancer at a younger age, and neurogenic bladder might accelerate the progression in this case.
