Simplified posterior urethroplasty utilizing laparoscopic instrumentation.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPosterior urethral stricture disease presents challenges for even the most skilled reconstructive urologists. Regardless of the surgical technique used, these are complex operations that occur in hard-to-access locations. We describe the use of a novel combination of laparoscopic instrumentation to simplify posterior urethral reconstruction.
methodsWe retrospectively identified patients undergoing a posterior urethral stricture repair utilizing a combination of the RD-180
resultsFrom October 2016 to October 2020, 20 patients underwent posterior urethral stricture repair using these laparoscopic instruments. Median age was 70 years (28-90 years). Median follow up was 12 months (5-50 months). Mean stricture length was 3 cm (1.5-16 cm). Median operative time was 150 minutes (120-180 minutes). No peripheral neuropathies or positional injuries were noted. With failure defined as inability to pass a 16-Fr scope, success rate was 95% (19/20 patients).
