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

Hematuria in children often presents a diagnostic puzzle, especially when cystoscopic findings are unexpected-such as the appearance of worm-like structures. We report the case of a 13-year-old male with recurrent hematuria, initially suspected of having a parasitic bladder infection based on endoscopic findings. Ultimately, histopathology identified the structure as a fibrin clot. This case emphasizes the importance of including fibrin clots in the differential diagnosis of pediatric hematuria and highlights the essential role of pathology in guiding management when visual impressions might mislead.
