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

purposeTo evaluate the efficacy of deep bladder neck incision plus adjuvant Triamcinolone in the treatment of recurrent vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis following surgical treatment for prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective review of patients undergoing bladder neck incision from 2013 to 2019 was conducted. Patients who had previously undergone surgical treatment for prostate cancer and had failed treatment for bladder neck contracture were included.

resultsTwenty patients underwent deep bladder neck incision (BNI) with plasma button and adjuvant injection with a patency rate of 85%. Complete obliteration portended worst prognosis with 100% recurrence.

conclusionsDeep BNI with triamcinolone is a minimally morbid alternative for treatment of refractory vesicourethral anastomotic contractures.
