Ectopic Prostate Tissue in the Bladder Exhibiting Fluorescence on Photodynamic Diagnosis: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: We report two cases of ectopic prostate tissue exhibiting fluorescence during photodynamic diagnosis using 5-aminolevulinic acid. Case Presentation: The first case involved a 57-year-old man with a 9-mm papillary tumor on the right side of the bladder neck. The second case involved a 75-year-old man with a history of left renal pelvic cancer who presented with a 2-mm papillary tumor in the bladder trigone. In both cases, the tumors fluoresced red under blue light during photodynamic diagnosis-assisted transurethral resection. Histopathological examination revealed ectopic prostate tissue in both cases. No recurrence was observed, and a slight decrease in serum prostate-specific antigen levels was noted at 12 and 5 months of follow-up in cases 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusion: Ectopic prostate tissue in the bladder is a rare benign tumor that may exhibit false-positive fluorescence during photodynamic diagnosis, making it difficult to distinguish from bladder cancer even with this technique.
