Iatrogenic obstruction after sling surgery.
Review in Nature reviews. Urology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Sling surgery has supplanted other anti-incontinence procedures as the treatment of choice for stress urinary incontinence. Iatrogenic obstruction after sling surgery is increasingly reported as the procedure becomes more and more popular. The rate of retention (defined as catheter-dependency for at least 28 days) has been estimated at 1-10%. Iatrogenic obstruction after sling surgery has a variable presentation and can include urinary urgency, urgency incontinence, hesitancy, straining to void, weak urinary stream, nocturia, incomplete emptying, frequency, dysuria or urinary tract infections. The evaluation and diagnosis rely upon a thorough patient history, physical examination, a urine flow test and postvoid residual volume. Cystoscopy and pressure-flow studies can also be considered. The single most important factor in the diagnosis of sling-related obstruction or voiding dysfunction is the temporal relationship between the sling procedure and onset of symptoms. Transient urinary retention can be managed with indwelling or intermittent catheter drainage. For those patients with moderate or symptomatic retention, surgical options for treatment include sling loosening, sling incision, sling excision, and urethrolysis.
