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
Purpose: Primary or recurrent urethral stenoses are common clinical problems. The aim of this feasibility study was development and application test of a novel radioactive catheter for potential use in low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy to prevent urethral stenosis. Material and methods: A beta radiation emitting phosphorous-32 ( Results: Measured dose distributions of catheters with Conclusions: This proof-of-concept study presents a safe and technically simple approach to LDR brachytherapy intending to prevent urethral stenosis. The prescribed irradiation dose can be administered in a reproducible and precise manner using a urethral catheter as a carrier of beta radiating foil. The study duration of 63 days was too short to make statistically significant stricture-related conclusions. This approach may be considered for similar problems in other hollow organs and in cases regarding superficial hyper-proliferation.
