1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundUrethral catheterization is a common procedure in daily medical practice and most medical staff are trained for the procedure. Buried penis in morbid obese patients with scrotal edema makes urethral catheterization challenging and sometimes fails. Different methods have been published to overcome the urethral catheterization difficulties in buried penis of obese patients.

methodsA 51-year-old morbidly obese male patient presented with urine retention. On inspection of his external genitalia, there was no penile shaft seen and the penis was buried within the cavity between pubic fat and severely edematous scrotum. To overcome the urethral catheterization difficulties, we used a laryngoscope which helps in visualization of the glans and external urethral meatus. The figures demonstrate the technique used.

resultsSuccessful urethral catheterization under direct visualization was achieved.

conclusionsThe technique is well tolerated by patients and increases the overall likelihood of successful urethral catheterization.
