Male sex and anterior wall tumor location as risk factors for urinary dysfunction after laparoscopic rectal surgery.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundTotal mesorectal excision (TME) has decreased the local recurrence rate and improved the overall survival of rectal cancer patients. However, urinary dysfunction remains a clinical problem after rectal cancer surgery. The aim was to assess the risk factors for postoperative urinary dysfunction.
methodsThis study was a single-center, retrospective analysis of 104 patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal surgery between November 2016 and October 2017. Postoperative urinary dysfunction was defined as the need for urinary catheter re-insertion or the presence of residual urine (≥ 150 mL) postoperatively.
resultsPostoperative urinary dysfunction was seen in 18 patients (17%). Multivariate analysis showed that male sex (odds ratio 3.89, p = 0.034) and anterior wall tumor location (odds ratio = 4.07, p = 0.037) were the predictors of postoperative urinary dysfunction. Compared with patients without risk factors, those with the two risk factors needed longer hospital stays (16 days vs. 30 days, p = 0.0022).
conclusionMale sex and anterior wall tumor location were the risk factors for urinary dysfunction after laparoscopic rectal surgery.
