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

Urinary catheterization can cause catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD). Ketorolac is widely used for pain control. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of ketorolac on the prevention of CRBD in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). All patients were randomly allocated to the ketorolac group or the control group. The primary outcome was CRBD above a moderate grade at 0 h postoperatively. CRBD above a moderate grade at 1, 2, and 6 h was also assessed. Postoperative pain, opioid requirement, ketorolac-related complications, patient satisfaction, and hospitalization duration were also assessed. The incidence of CRBD above a moderate grade at 0 h postoperatively was significantly lower in the ketorolac group (21.5% vs. 50.8%,
