A scoping review of important urinary catheter induced complications.
Article in Journal of materials science. Materials in medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06824298 (Effect of TENS on Bladder Tenesmus-related Pain and Patient Comfort in the Early Postoperative Period After Urinary Surgery), which is not on this map.

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
This study presents a scoping review of the literature on the morbidity and mortality associated with several common complications of urinary catheterization. Data gathered from the open literature were analyzed graphically to gain insights into the most important urinary catheter induced complications. The results reveal that the most significant catheter complications are severe mechanical trauma (perforation, partial urethral damage and urinary leakage), symptomatic bacterial infection, and anaphylaxis, catheter toxicity and hypersensitivity. The data analysis also revealed that the complications with the highest morbidity are all closely related to the mechanical interaction of the catheter with the urethra. This suggests that there is a strong need for urinary catheter design to be improved to minimize mechanical interaction, especially mechanical damage to the urinary tract, and to enhance patient comfort. Several urinary catheter design directions have been proposed based on tribological principles. Among the key recommendations is that catheter manufacturers develop catheter coatings which are both hydrophilic and antibacterial, and which maintain their antibacterial patency for at least 90 days.
