Suspected Urine-Induced Chemical Peritonitis Secondary to Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Chemical (urine-induced) peritonitis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication in patients with advanced bladder cancer. It may result from sterile urinary leakage into the peritoneal cavity, typically through microscopic wall disruption or tumor necrosis. This condition can mimic perforation or bacterial peritonitis, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. We describe the case of a 78-year-old male with de novo high-grade urothelial carcinoma, presenting with persistent gross hematuria, bilateral hydronephrosis, and severe anemia. Despite initial tumor resection and nephrostomy placement, the patient's condition deteriorated with signs of peritoneal irritation and systemic inflammation. Emergency cystoprostatectomy revealed extensive tumor necrosis and inflammatory peritoneal fluid, but no macroscopic bladder perforation. Histopathology confirmed muscle-invasive high-grade urothelial carcinoma (pT2b) with necrosis and angioinvasion. This report illustrates a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in the management of advanced bladder cancer complicated by suspected sterile chemical peritonitis, emphasizing the importance of early source control in critically ill patients.
