Postoperative infections due to bladder catheters after anterior colporrhaphy: a prospective, randomized three-arm study.
Trial report in International urogynecology journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01597544 (Post-operative Voiding Dysfunction), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisDifferent forms of urinary drainage are applied after anterior colporrhaphy. Suprapubic urinary catheter (SUC) and indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) for 2 to 96 h are preferred. If there is no difference in symptomatic urinary tract infection (SUTI) or complications between IUCs for 96 and 24 h, the latter will be considered sufficient. If IUCs have no higher rate of infections or complications compared to SUC for 96 h, the former could be considered sufficient.
methodsIt was a three-arm prospective, randomized study including 257 patients. The three arms were: IUCs for 24 h, IUCs for 96 h, and SUCs for 96 h.
resultsWe found no significant difference in SUTIs between all three groups. Although the SUC arm showed no SUTIs, a significant higher rate of complications was seen.
conclusionThe optimal bladder catheter after anterior colporrhaphy was, in our trial, the IUC for 24 h.
