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
Acute retention of urine in pregnancy is an emergency, since it can lead to loss of pregnancy besides other dire complications. Gartner's abscess is an extremely rare cause for this condition. We present a case of a 23-year-old primigravida woman who presented to us at 24 weeks of pregnancy with acute retention of urine. After clinical and radiological evaluation, a large Gartner's abscess was found to be the cause. Per vaginal drainage of the abscess was not attempted because insertion of transvaginal probe was extremely painful for the patient, and the abscess was located high up in the anterior fornix. Transabdominal approach under sonographic guidance was used for the drainage of the abscess. Careful aspiration of the abscess, avoiding injury to the placenta, fetus and maternal bladder, revealed 60 cc of frank pus. The patient was given injection hydroxyprogesterone caproate and antibiotics in the preprocedure period. Antibiotics were continued in the postprocedure period, and she was discharged at 26 weeks of pregnancy in satisfactory condition.
