Acute urinary retention rates following early removal or no placement in colon and rectal surgery: a single-center analysis.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe adequate duration of urinary drainage following colorectal surgery remains debated. The purpose of this study was to compare acute urinary retention (AUR) rates among various durations of urinary catheterization following colon and rectal surgery.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing elective colorectal resection enrolled in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol from 2018 to 2019. Patients were placed into four groups: no catheter placement (NC), catheter removed immediately after surgery (CRAS), removal less than 24 h (CR < 24), and removal greater than 24 h (CR > 24). Our primary endpoint was the rate of AUR in each group. Secondary endpoints included hospital length of stay and urinary tract infections (UTI). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to predict AUR.
resultsA total 641 patients were included in this study. 27 patients (4.2%) had NC with an AUR rate of 3.7%. 249 patients (38.8%) had CRAS with an AUR rate of 6.8%. 214 patients (33.4%) had CR < 24 with an AUR rate of 4.2%. 151 patients (23.6%) had CR > 24 with an AUR rate of 2.6%. There was no significant difference in AUR among the groups (p = 0.264). In our multivariant logistic regression, pelvic surgery was an independent risk factor for AUR (p = 0.008). There was a statistically significant higher hospital length of stay (p = 0.001) and rate of UTIs (p = 0.017) in patients with prolonged catheterization.
conclusionDeferral or early removal of urinary catheters is safe and feasible following colorectal surgery without a significant increase in AUR. Avoiding prolonged indwelling urinary catheterization may decrease associated complications such as UTI and hospital length of stay.
