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

Introduction: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the bladder is a rare benign tumor characterized by atypical spindle cell proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration, typically involving lymphocytes and plasma cells. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old woman presented with micturition pain and urinary frequency. Cystoscopy revealed an elevated tumor with edematous mucosa on the anterior bladder wall. Transurethral resection confirmed IMT of the bladder but was incomplete, prompting laparoscopic partial cystectomy with cystoscopy guidance. At 2-year follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no recurrence. Conclusion: Complete resection is the standard treatment for bladder IMT. When the tumor extends beyond the bladder wall, laparoscopic partial cystectomy with cystoscopy guidance offers a safe and effective surgical approach for achieving complete resection with adequate margins.
