Urinary retention: a possible complication of unilateral continuous quadratus lumborum analgesia - a case report.
Article in Romanian journal of anaesthesia and intensive care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveContinuous quadratus lumborum (QL) analgesia is a new option for proximal femur surgery considered safe and effective. The purpose of this report was to show that we may not be aware of all the possible complications of this technique, and urinary retention may occur even when the block is performed unilaterally. CASE REPORT: To an obese, intubated, mechanically ventilated, female patient, operated in prone position for removal of a femur tumour, we performed a trans-muscular quadratus lumborum block (TQL). We mounted a catheter and administered continuous infusion of local anaesthetic in the postoperative period. The patient experienced urinary retention. A urinary catheter was placed and it was maintained for the entire period of local anaesthetic infusion. When the catheter was removed, 72 hours after the surgery, the patient resumed normal bladder functions.
conclusionUrinary retention is a possible complication when continuous quadratus lumborum analgesia is used, even when performed unilaterally.
