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

Purpose: Repeated spontaneous transurethral passage of visible urinary fungal masses containing Case: A 55-year-old man with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, urinary calculi, urinary retention, bilateral hydronephrosis, and recent cystolitholapaxy presented with dysuria, pyuria, and repeated passage of yellow-white soft masses during urination. Cystoscopy and computed tomography showed intravesical lesions accompanied by bladder inflammation. Histopathological examination of the expelled masses demonstrated abundant Conclusion: Visible urinary fungal masses in patients with candiduria should undergo histopathological examination, while urine and, when feasible, the expelled material should be submitted for fungal culture and species identification. Management of complicated candiduria should combine appropriate antifungal therapy with urinary drainage, glycemic control, bladder irrigation, and other source-control measures.
