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

The presence of a duplicated urinary bladder and prostate has not been described. We report the case of a complete duplication of the urinary bladder and prostate, associated with one urethral meatus and a bifid urethra. A 68-year-old male presented with chronic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stone removal and epispadias repair. Bladder duplication was incidentally found during imaging. Cystoscopy confirmed one meatus with two bladders and urethras, each with its own prostate. Transurethral resection of both prostates (TURP) was performed. This is the first reported case of complete duplication of both bladder and prostate.
