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

Spontaneous urinary bladder rupture due to emphysematous cystitis is a rare and life-threatening complication, which often presents with atypical symptoms leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. We present two cases of middle-aged Vietnamese females who initially presented with emphysematous cystitis and whose clinical course was complicated by spontaneous urinary bladder rupture as well as a literature review of this uncommon life-threatening urologic complication. Urinary bladder rupture is an uncommon condition which may occur from instrumentation, infection or idiopathic etiologies and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion for diagnosis. Our cases highlight the need for multidisciplinary coordination to manage underlying diseases and in-depth timely evaluation to detect and address potential complications that may arise.
