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

Female urethral strictures are rare, but underdiagnosed pathologies that can cause voiding dysfunction. These strictures are best managed with open reconstruction, as endoscopic treatments have high rates of failure. A flap urethroplasty can be performed with vaginal, labial or bladder tissue. Meanwhile, graft urethroplasties can utilize vaginal, labial, buccal or lingual tissue. It is important to consider the etiology and type of stricture, local vascularity, and prior attempts at repair when selecting the type of repair. Multiple different techniques have been described with theoretical advantages to each one. While some studies have reviewed a few of the reconstructive techniques to treat female urethral strictures, no single study has accounted for each individual technique. In this review, we discuss techniques captured by a number of systematic reviews and other articles. We will herein focus on reviewing and describing each unique technique of reconstruction in the setting of female urethral stricture.
