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
Intravesical immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the cornerstone of treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Intravesical BCG therapy is not without risks however, with complications ranging from bothersome to life-threatening occurring in approximately 1 % of cases. Tuberculous epididymitis is a rare but notable complication of BCG therapy, characterised by granulomatous inflammation of the epididymis. Here we present a rare case of tuberculosis epididymitis in a 65-year-old gentleman receiving intravesical BCG for treatment of his NMIBC. The authors wish to highlight the diagnostic consideration of tuberculosis epididymitis in patients presenting with scrotal pain while undergoing BCG treatment.
