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

Fungal bezoars in the urinary tract are rare and typically present in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with diabetes mellitus. We discuss the case of a 66-year-old bedbound female with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with intra-abdominal collections secondary to a possible bladder perforation. She was subsequently found to have bladder outlet obstruction secondary to a large fungal bezoar resembling a mucinous bladder tumour. This case highlights the importance of considering fungal bezoars in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with bladder masses, especially in high-risk patients, to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.
