Large urethral prolapse formation after calcium hydroxylapatite (Coaptite) injection.
Article in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
A 67-year-old woman who had failed two prior anti-incontinence surgeries presented with stress urinary incontinence and intrinsic sphincteric deficiency. Calcium hydroxylapatite (Coaptite(R)) was injected cystoscopically into the bladder neck and proximal urethra and resolved her incontinence. Seven months later, she presented with difficulty in voiding and a urethral mass. Physical examination revealed a large prolapse of the urethral mucosa obstructing the external urethral meatus. Surgical exploration revealed local migration of calcium hydroxylapatite particles from the site of injection (bladder neck and proximal urethra) to the distal urethra. The prolapsed urethral mucosa was incised and marsupialized. Improper injection techniques likely contributed to urethral prolapse in this complication. Meticulous attention to injection techniques is the key to treatment success of urethral bulking agents, particularly in patients who have a scarred/fixed urethra or have multiple urethral/vaginal surgeries.
