Intraoperative contrast enhanced sonourethrography to characterize urethral stricture in a pediatric patient.
Article in Urology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Fluoroscopic retrograde urethrogram (RUG) is the current gold standard to define urethral strictures, however, sonourethrography (SU) has been shown to be effective in this setting as well. Some advantages of SU include more accurate measurement of stricture length, lack of radiation, and ability to assess soft tissue surrounding strictures to help guide operative management. Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an evolving imaging modality with increasing clinical utility in both pediatric and adult patient populations. We present a unique case in which contrast enhanced sonourethrography (CESU) was used to further characterize a urethral stricture intraoperatively to aid in surgical decision making.
