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

Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy for bladder cancer requires screening for urinary tract infection during treatment, but conventional urinalysis cannot reliably distinguish bacteriuria from BCG-induced inflammatory cystitis. This study evaluated the ability of the Sysmex UF-5000 urine flow cytometer to detect significant bacteriuria and predict Gram stainability during intravesical BCG. This retrospective study included 145 patients who underwent intravesical BCG therapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT). Urine flow cytometry and cultures were performed at baseline, after TURBT, and weekly during BCG instillation. Diagnostic performance was assessed at the patient level over the BCG induction course, using urine cultures (≥10
