Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-Related Mycotic Pseudoaneurysm in the Aortic Arch: Clinical and Operative Challenges.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 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
Mycotic aortic aneurysms following intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy for urothelial carcinoma are rare but life-threatening. A male patient with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-treated bladder cancer presented with syncope, cough, and fever. Computed tomography showed a distal arch pseudoaneurysm, and positron emission tomography indicated an infection. Treatment included replacement of the aortic arch and the descending aorta and the use of antimicrobial agents. Histopathological analyses confirmed a Mycobacterium bovis infection. The patient died 1 month postoperatively of stroke and organ failure. Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are crucial. Clinical registration number: Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of RWTH Aachen (EK 25-341).
