Endoscopic Management of Urethral Stricture: Review and Practice Algorithm for Management of Male Urethral Stricture Disease.
Review in Current urology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07769060 (Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Lishitonglin Formula in Improving Preoperative Non-Severe Urinary Tract Infections and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Patients With Urethral Stricture), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purpose of reviewMale urethral stricture disease is characterized by the formation of scar tissue within the urethra resulting in lower urinary tract symptoms, infection, and potentially kidney dysfunction. There is significant variability in clinical practice for the treatment of urethral stricture. We sought to summarize the known data on endoscopic management of urethral stricture disease as part of this larger edition on urethral stricture management. RECENT
findingsOlder studies quoted high rates of success with endoscopic management of urethral stricture, including repeated DVIU. There is now evidence to support a limited role of endoscopic intervention in the management of urethral stricture, and especially strong evidence that repeated endoscopic procedures are not effective. There is poor evidence to support the long-term efficacy of endoscopic urethral stricture management. Furthermore, novel advances in adjunctive therapies have not yet demonstrated durable patency. We discuss the limited role of endoscopic management and suggest an algorithm for its use in stricture management.
