Renal Granuloma Distinct From the Renal Pelvis Following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Treatment for Bladder Cancer: A Case Report.
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: The incidence of renal complication following BCG treatment is rare. Few previous studies have reported a solitary renal granuloma distinct from the renal pelvis following BCG treatment. Case Presentation: An 85-year-old male underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. A 6-week induction of intravesical BCG instillation therapy was planned; however, the sixth instillation was canceled owing to fever. Regular follow-up revealed no recurrence. However, 4 years later, CT revealed a right renal mass. With a clinical diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma, robot-assisted partial nephrectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was epithelioid cell granuloma with caseating necrosis. Stress cystography revealed no vesicoureteral reflux. Conclusion: A renal granuloma caused by BCG is one of the differential diagnoses for solitary renal mass following BCG treatment, even if the mass is not adjacent to the renal pelvis.
