Management of Urethral Stricture and Bladder Neck Contracture Following Primary and Salvage Treatment of Prostate Cancer.
Review in Current urology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
purpose of reviewThis article discusses the incidence, evaluation, and treatment of bladder outlet obstruction from urethral stricture, vesicourethral anastomotic stricture, and bladder neck contracture following primary and salvage treatment of prostate cancer. RECENT
findingsRates of stenosis after prostate cancer treatment appear similar across all primary treatment modalities including radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, cryoablation, and high-intensity focused ultrasound in contemporary series. Urethral dilation and urethrotomy continue to report moderate patency rates. Urethroplasty achieves high patency rates even for long strictures, but more extensive reconstruction increases the risk of postoperative urinary incontinence. Recent AUA guidelines on urethral strictures provide new recommendations for management of these patients. All treatment options for prostate cancer carry a risk for bladder outlet obstruction, and intervention is often necessary to relieve long-lasting morbidity. Careful preoperative evaluation should be completed to assess location and extent of the stricture in order to choose optimal therapy. Endoscopic treatments, open reconstruction, and urinary diversion all play a role in relief of stenosis depending on stricture length, location, characteristics, and patient comorbidities.
