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
backgroundAs a considerable heterogeneity in the procedure of intermittent catheterization (IC) was identified by a questionnaire survey conducted in hospitals and institutions for the treatment of patients with spinal cord injury in 2010, it became necessary to standardize the IC procedure (i.e. self-catheterization and assisted catheterization).
methodThese guidelines were developed within a structured consensus process (e.g. several consensus conferences and nominal group process) by members of the working group on neurourology (Arbeitskreis Neuro-Urologie) and the working group on nursing (Arbeitskreis Pflege) of the German-speaking Medical Society of Paraplegia (DMGP), a section of the German Society for Orthopedics and Traumatology (DGOU) and were published as S2k guidelines of the German Society of Urology (DGU). The guidelines developer group consisted of representatives from the following professional groups: neurourology, surgery, health and nursing, nursing science, urotherapy and hygiene.
resultsFirstly, the indications for IC are presented and concepts such as sterile, aseptic and hygienic catheterization are defined. The materials necessary for the IC (e.g. quality of the customized single-use catheter and approved disinfectants for disinfection of the meatus) are presented in detail. The disinfection and catheterization techniques are described and a detailed explanation of the potential complications and their management is given. Finally, the legal aspects and issues of eligibility of catheter material and disinfectants are discussed.
conclusionsThe purpose of this consensus is to contribute to the standardization of IC. It should remove uncertainty and offer assistance to users (i.e. patients, staff and care providers). A particular focus is placed on practical instructions for carrying out the IC. The intention is to support the realization of IC in various settings (e.g. hospital, rehabilitation, long-term care institutions and home-based care). A wide implementation of the guidelines should lead to a reduction of the risks and complications of IC, which in most cases is a procedure that will be necessary throughout life.
