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

objectiveUrethral strictures in women are rare compared with those in men. Three defined approaches for their treatment have been mentioned in the available literature: dorsal onlay, ventral onlay, and ventral inlay. Here we describe double-face buccal graft urethroplasty, a new technique for treating obliterative urethral strictures in women. MATERIAL AND

methodsA 37-year-old woman presented with a catheter-induced stricture, multiple dilatations for which had failed. Micturating urethrogram revealed near-obliterative mid and distal strictures. An inlay incision was made in the posterior wall and then the anterior wall. A buccal graft was inserted as a double-face dorsal and ventral inlay in the urethra.

resultsThe patient had normal unobstructed voiding during a follow-up of 6 months.

conclusionDouble-face buccal graft urethroplasty is safe, feasible, and easy to perform and a good option for women with near-obliterative urethral strictures. To our knowledge, this is the first ever reported case of double-face urethroplasty in a woman.
