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

Large bladder stone is an uncommon disease, and its diagnosis is sometimes challenging. Herein we reported the case of a 75-year-old male patient who was admitted to undergo open cystostomy for a diagnosis of "urinary incontinence, urethral stricture, post-radical prostatectomy state, and urinary tract infection". However, during the operation, we found that he was misdiagnosed by preoperative MRI examination, and he had a large bladder stone measuring approximately 6 × 5 cm and weighing 105 grams. Furthermore, the stone was found to be caused by a migrated Hem-o-lok clip originating from the previous laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The eventual treatment is open cystolithotomy. Postoperatively, careful re-interpretation of the MRI film revealed a stone in the bladder, but the large stone was missed preoperatively. Doctors should be aware of the characteristics of bladder stone on MRI examination, and the diagnosis of bladder stones formed by foreign bodies requires a combination of multiple imaging methods to be confirmed.
