Intravesical therapy for bladder cancer causing disseminated tuberculosis and perforated viscus: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The ileocecal area and peritoneum are frequently affected by abdominal TB, which is uncommon (1%-3%) and usually manifests as vague symptoms that resemble malignancies. A 6-9 months of antituberculous medication is the standard course of treatment; surgery is saved for complications like obstruction or perforation. We present a case of an 81-year-old man who had recurrent bladder cancer and had previously intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment. He developed diarrhea, vomiting, and a small intestinal perforation in 2025, which were originally suspected to be signs of metastatic dissemination. Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation was identified during ileocecal resection, and testing verified disseminated tuberculosis, which is most compatible with systemic BCG infection.
