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

The acute management of pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUIs) remains a controversial topic. Currently, suprapubic tube (SPT) placement with delayed repair or primary realignment (PR) represents the strategies used to treat patients. While many will advocate the use of one technique over the other, the 2014 American Urological Association (AUA) Guidelines give providers the option for the management PFUI. Current literature evaluates these two interventions, focusing on the incidence of re-stricture formation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence. Here we perform a comprehensive review of the current management for PFUI, as well as, discuss the limitations of the studies and need for more prospective studies on this debated topic.
