Long-term outcomes of anastomotic urethroplasty for radiation-induced strictures.
Article 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 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo present our experience with excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) of radiation-induced urethral strictures (RUS) in men, including risk factors for stricture recurrence and long-term recurrence rates.
methodsA retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent EPA of RUS between 2007 and 2018 at a single tertiary referral center. Demographic information, stricture location and length, complications, and stricture recurrence were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify variables impacting recurrence.
resultsEPA was performed in 116 patients with RUS. The majority of patients (86.2%, 100/116) underwent at least one prior urologic intervention. Mean stricture length was 2.3 cm. Stricture recurrence occurred in 19.0% (22/116) at a mean of 8.6 months. For patients with at least 1 year of postoperative follow-up (mean 30.7 months), stricture recurrence significantly increased to 36.6% (15/41; p = 0.03). On univariate and multivariate analyses, postoperative complications were associated with stricture recurrence (p < 0.001).
conclusionEPA remains a viable option for men with RUS. Nearly two-thirds of RUS patients remain recurrence-free with long-term follow-up following EPA.
