Non-transecting bulbar urethroplasty is favored over transecting techniques.
Review in World journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo present current evidence supporting the vessel sparing technique to reconstruct bulbar urethral strictures via primary anastomosis.
methodsEnglish literature review of presented series of transecting and non-transecting bulbar urethroplasty from 2000 to 2018.
resultsSince its introduction in 2007, vessel-sparing excision and primary anastomosis (VS-EPA) has been utilized in multiple centers across the world. Success rates range from 90 to 98%, comparable to traditional transecting EPA. Complication rates and erectile function outcomes are similar or better in VS-EPA, according to recent publications.
conclusionsNon-transection excision and primary anastomosis is a well-tolerated, highly successful reconstructive option for short bulbar urethral strictures in appropriately selected patients. Results are comparable with traditional transecting anastomosis and mid-term multinational follow-up has proven efficacy and safety of the technique. Further well-designed multi-institutional studies are necessary to determine superiority to traditional EPA in terms of surgical outcomes and erectile function preservation.
