Giant 2,150-gram bladder stone in a 32-year-old male: A case report from the Peruvian Amazon.

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
Giant bladder lithiasis is a rare clinical finding, particularly among young adults. We report the case of a 32-year-old male from the Peruvian Amazon who presented with progressive lower urinary tract symptoms, recurrent urinary tract infections, and weight loss over 2 years. Uroimaging revealed a solitary 15×15 cm hyperdense mass occupying the entire bladder cavity. Laboratory studies showed severe anemia, elevated creatinine, and urinary sediment with struvite crystals. Despite repeated evaluations, a timely diagnosis was delayed, leading to bilateral hydroureteronephrosis and renal impairment. The patient underwent open cystolithotomy, which extracted a 2150-gram stone in multiple fragments. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and histopathology revealed bladder squamous metaplasia without malignancy. Follow-up imaging demonstrated residual bladder wall thickening and decreased renal dimensions. This case highlights the severe complications that can result from neglected bladder lithiasis in vulnerable populations and underscores the need for early urologic evaluation, especially in settings with limited access to healthcare.
