A Foley folly: Unintended proximal urethral catheterization and balloon inflation causing urethral injury during suprapubic cystostomy exchange.

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
Urinary catheter dysfunction is a common emergency department presentation for patients with neurogenic bladders. Many of these patients have cystostomies requiring routine suprapubic catheter exchange. On complication of outpatient catheter replacement, patients are often sent to the emergency department (ED). We describe the case of an 81-year-old male presenting with painless hematuria and blood from the urinary meatus after undergoing routine cystostomy exchange. During Foley replacement, the suprapubic catheter entered the proximal urethra and the balloon was inflated while in the prostatic urethra, leading to urethral injury and cystic clot formation. Emergency physicians should be aware of this rare complication of suprapubic catheter placement.
