A novel nomogram for the delayed transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty based on relative position between the proximal urethra and the pubic ramus in pelvic fracture injury patients: a retrospective analysis.
Article in World journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeMany reconstructive urologists have observed that higher urethra injuries lead to potentially less successful repairs. This article introduces a novel prognostic factor for pelvic fracture caused urethral injury (PFUI) to predict stricture recurrence after delayed transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty (TAU) patients with PFUI based on urethra injury locations. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients who underwent suprapubic cystostomy tube placement and delayed TAU for PFUI by a single surgeon between 2009 and 2018 were screened. A total of 151 patients completed the follow-up. The relative location between the proximal urethra and the pubic ramus (PUE-PR), a novel stricture length classification method based on the anatomical landmark, was divided into a lower, middle, and upper group reflected by urethrogram. The nomogram was developed based on significant coefficients identified by multivariable Cox regression.
resultsBased on the relative position between the proximal urethra end and the pubic ramus (PUE-PR), 47 (31%), 66 (44%), and 38 (25%) patients were assigned to the lower, middle, and upper group, respectively. A total of 33 patients (22%) patients had a recurrence. The median (IQR) follow-up was 49 months (28-75). Smoking, endoscopic treatment history, and PUE-PR were identified as independent risk factors for stricture recurrence. The nomogram showed good discrimination with a C-index of 76.67%. The decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that the model could bring more clinical net benefit when a threshold probability is larger than 8%.
conclusionsPUE-PR is a new prognostic factor for PFUI to predict stricture recurrence after TAU. A novel nomogram incorporating PUE-PR could be applied to facilitate the prediction of stricture recurrence after delayed TAU for PFUI.
