Omitting perioperative urinary catheterization in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a single-institution experience.
Observational study in Surgery today, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03631160 (Effect of Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation on Postoperative Spontaneous Voiding for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patients：A Randomized Clinical Trial), 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

Abstract
purposeIn 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Guidelines for the Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections, which limited the indications for perioperative urinary catheter use. We conducted this study to evaluate the safety of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) without urinary catheter placement and to investigate whether it reduces the incidence of urinary complications.
methodsOf 244 patients who underwent elective LC between March, 2010 and April 2011, 192 patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria and underwent surgery without urinary catheterization (non-catheterized group). We compared the clinical features and surgical outcomes of the non-catheterized group with those of an historical control of 90 patients who underwent LC with routine urinary catheterization.
resultsThe operating times were similar in the two groups and there was no case of conversion to open surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was slightly shorter and the incidence of urinary complications was significantly lower in the non-catheterized group. Three patients in the non-catheterized group suffered urinary retention, which resolved after temporary catheterization.
conclusionOur study demonstrated that elective LC without urinary catheter placement is feasible for most patients and might reduce the incidence of perioperative urinary complications.
