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

Bladder hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors that may cause severe hematuria. We report a 66-year-old man with Glanzmann thrombasthenia who presented with life-threatening hematuria, clot retention, and severe anemia. Histopathological examination revealed multiple capillary bladder hemangiomas, while contrast-enhanced CT failed to clearly identify the lesions due to their small size. Despite intensive hematological support, including transfusions, recombinant activated factor VII, and transurethral electrocoagulation, bleeding recurred. Given the prohibitive hemorrhagic risk of repeat surgery, super selective vesical artery embolization was performed, achieving complete and durable hemostasis. No complications or recurrence occurred during six months of follow-up.
