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

Background: Non-epithelial bladder neoplasms are rare, and there are only approximately 250 cases of bladder leiomyoma reported in the English literature. We present a case of bladder leiomyoma in a patient with recurrent acute cystitis. Case Presentation: A 53-year-old woman presented to a local clinic with frequent urination and dysuria and was diagnosed with acute cystitis. Her symptoms temporarily improved after taking oral antibiotics, but then flared up repeatedly. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a bladder neck leiomyoma and multiple uterine fibroids. Her body mass index was 27.0 kg/m Conclusion: There have been few cases of bladder leiomyoma coexisting with urinary tract infection and uterine fibroids. Our findings suggest that female hormones, which might increase body weight and cause fatty liver, are associated with the growth of bladder leiomyomas. If a patient has recurrent urinary tract infection, a bladder leiomyoma should be included in the differential diagnoses.
