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

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors derived from extra-adrenal autonomic paraganglia. Bladder paragangliomas are exceptionally uncommon, accounting for only 0.06% of bladder tumors, with about 200 reported cases worldwide. Their presentation varies from asymptomatic disease to hematuria, hypertension, palpitations, or micturition-induced syncope, making diagnosis challenging. This case describes a 54-year-old woman with macroscopic hematuria in whom bladder paraganglioma was incidentally discovered during transurethral resection. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed classic neuroendocrine features without catecholamine secretion. The report highlights the diagnostic difficulty of non-secreting bladder paragangliomas and the need to include them in the differential diagnosis of bladder masses.
