Case Report of an Infectious Aortic Aneurysm Following Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Therapy After Transurethral Resection of a Bladder Tumor.
Article in IJU 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
Introduction: Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is an established treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although systemic BCG infection is rare, infectious aortic aneurysm is a potentially fatal complication. Case Presentation: A man in his 70s underwent transurethral resection of a bladder tumor followed by intravesical BCG therapy. One year later, computed tomography revealed a saccular abdominal aortic aneurysm with extensive periaortic inflammation and an iliopsoas abscess. Polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed Conclusion: BCG-related infectious aortic aneurysm may develop even in the absence of fever or marked inflammatory response. Clinicians should suspect and consider early CT evaluation in patients with a history of intravesical BCG therapy when unexplained retroperitoneal or vascular abnormalities are identified, regardless of inflammatory status.
