Comparative effectiveness of interventions for managing postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of anesthesia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundAlthough many drugs or interventions have been studied to manage catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD), their comparative effectiveness is unknown. We attempted to assess the comparative effectiveness of the strategies to manage CRBD in patients undergoing urologic surgery including amikacin, solifenacin, darifenacin, butylscopolamine, dexmedetomidine, gabapentin, glycopyrrolate, ketamine, oxybutynin, resiniferatoxin, tolterodine, tramadol, caudal block, dorsal penile nerve block, lidocaine-prilocaine cream.
methodsWe performed an arm-based network meta-analysis including 29 trials with 2841 participants. Goodness of model fit was evaluated by deviance information criteria (DIC). The incidence of CRBD at 0, 1, and 6 h after surgery and the incidence of moderate to severe CRBD at 0, 1, and 6 h after surgery were compared.
resultsRandom effect model was selected according to DIC. Most of the drugs significantly decreased the incidence of CRBD except amikacin, tramadol at 0 and 1 h after surgery. Dexmedetomidine, solifenacin, caudal block, dorsal penile nerve block, resiniferatoxin, and gabapentin 1200 mg p.o. significantly decreased the incidence of CRBD at 6 h after surgery (gabapentin 1200: Odds ratio [OR] 0.02; SUCRA 95.6). Dexmedetomidine and tolterodine significantly decreased the incidence of moderate to severe CRBD at 0, 1, and 6 h after surgery (tolterodine at 6 h: OR 0.05; SUCRA 73.7).
conclusionsGabapentin was ranked best regarding the overall incidence of CRBD, while tolterodine was ranked best in reducing the severity of CRBD. However, a firm conclusion cannot be made from our analysis due to small-study number and heterogeneity regarding study setting and outcome measurement.
