Intravesical encrusted gossypiboma mimicking bladder stone: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Gossypiboma, the retained surgical sponge or gauze, is a rare but serious iatrogenic complication often underreported due to medico-legal concerns. Involvement of the urinary bladder is exceedingly rare, with few cases described. Presentations vary from asymptomatic findings to mimicking bladder stones or tumors, complicating diagnosis. Imaging aids detection, while cystoscopy confirms diagnosis. Management requires endoscopic or surgical retrieval, and prevention depends on strict adherence to surgical counts and safety protocols. We report a rare case of a large stone-encrusted intravesical gossypiboma presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms after hysterectomy, successfully managed by open removal.
