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

objectiveSurgical treatment for female urethral stricture is varied and lacks consensus. Dorsal and ventral approaches of urethroplasty have comparable success rate with debatable limitations. We describe modifications in dorsal onlay graft urethroplasty to mitigate the surgical limitations and improve functional outcomes. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 8 patients with strictures treated with dorsal onlay urethroplasty at our center. The inclusion criteria were American Urology Association (AUA) score >20, calibration <14 Fr, positive voiding cystourethrogram, urodynamics with maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) <12 mL/s, detrusor pressure at maximum flow >24 cmH

resultsThe mean age was 50.5±10.6 years. Statistically significant improvements in mean AUA score [14.5±2.20 (p=0.012)], Qmax [23.63±2.44 (p=0.012)], post-void residual urine [107.88±40.37 (p=0.012)], and sexual function scores [6.833±2.23 (p=0.027)] were noted at a mean follow-up of 3 months. Distal strictures were more common. Mean urethral caliber was 9.62 Fr. No cases of de novo incontinence or sexual dissatisfaction were reported.

conclusionIn our experience, the dorsal onlay technique works well, but without a comparative evidence for ventral onlay, it is difficult to conclude that one is preferred over the other.
