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

Performing a cystourethroscopy in children can range from reviewing a 100 kg teenage male with posterior urethritis, to assessing a 3 kg neonate with posterior urethral valves. Across this range the patient needs to be positioned in a way that allows passage of the rigid cystoscope and visualisation of the urethra and bladder. We describe a technique for positioning the legs of infants for cystoscopy using skin friendly tape, rather than wedges, stirrups or boots. The advantage of this being that it is cheap, adaptable and holds the infant in the perfect position, without needing complex equipment.
