Risk factors of urethral diverticula in male patients with spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
STUDY
designA case-control study in a series of 55 males with urethral diverticula (UD) and their correspondent control, matched by age and time of radiological assessments.
objectivesTo evaluate the risk factors to develop UD in males with spinal cord injury (SCI) and the place in the urethra where they are, most commonly, allocated.
settingToledo, Spain.
methodsClinical histories and urodynamic studies, of all patients, were reviewed. The study was completed with a telephone survey according to an established protocol.
resultsThe univariate analysis study showed the following risk factors: the age of onset of the spinal injury, the sphincterotomy procedure, personal history of lower urinary tract infections (LUTIs) and the chronic need of either indwelling catheter (IC) or the external condom drainage (ECD). Regarding the location of the UD, we have found the stress urinary incontinence as the only risk factor to develop UD in the prostatic urethra.On the other hand, we can conclude that the sphincterotomy, the ECD, the personal history of LUTIs and the detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia seem to be risk factors to develop diverticula in the bulbo-membranous urethra. Finally, we could point out the IC as the only risk factor for penile UD. Multivariate analysis showed that all of these risk factors were independent among them except the age of the onset of the injury and the ECD for UD in the bulbo-membranous urethra.
conclusionAccording to our study, there is evidence of some specific risk factors for the development of UD in male patients with SCI, and therefore we should adopt the appropriate preventive measures to prevent them.
