Bladder Pain Syndrome With Repeated Bladder Hydrodistention-A Case of Functional Somatic Syndrome Considered in Relation to Alexithymia.
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: We present a patient with bladder pain syndrome (BPS) who underwent repeated bladder hydrodistentions. Case Presentation: A female patient visited our department because of refractory bladder pain. She was diagnosed with BPS; she had only mucosal bleeding after distention. Her bladder pain improved after hydrodistention; however, the symptoms flared up within a few months. She also consulted with the palliative care department and was diagnosed with chronic pain associated with alexithymia. Various drugs were administered; however, none were effective or continued because of side effects. It was also challenging for her to embrace introspective counseling. Ultimately, along with her strong desire, the hydrodistention continued every few months. Her bladder capacity was approximately 200 mL. Conclusion: BPS with uncontrolled bladder pain may be a functional somatic syndrome associated with alexithymia, and interventions such as psychosomatic medicine could be necessary from the early stage.
