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

Obstetric-associated lower urinary tract injuries may occur during vaginal and abdominal deliveries. If these injuries go unrecognised, these patients may suffer both physical and psychosocial complications. We describe the management of 19 patients with such injuries, including their demographic profile, associated factors, and complications at a tertiary institution in a retrospective case series over a 5-year period. Bladder injuries were the most common (89.5%), mostly occurring during emergency caesarean delivery, with previous caesarean delivery and adhesions being risk factors. A primary repair was attempted at the referring institution in 35.7% of cases. Repair at the tertiary institution was mostly performed by consultants (42.9%). Early recognition and primary repair are found to reduce further complications.
