Prophylactic Moxibustion in Preventing Postoperative Urinary Retention of Hemorrhoidectomy: A Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. 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
Backgrounds: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is one of the most common complications after hemorrhoidectomy. The best treatment for POUR is prevention and should be involved in the whole perioperative period. Moxibustion has been used to treat urinary retention for thousands of years, and clinical studies have also proved its effects. We try to carry out a randomized, controlled, prospective study to observe whether prophylactic moxibustion could effectively reduce the incidence of POUR of hemorrhoidectomy in 24 h. Methods: This study is a single-center, evaluator-blinded, randomized, and controlled trial. Participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this RCT will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group (moxibustion) or the control group (tamsulosin hydrochloride) in a 1:1 ratio according to a computer-generated randomization list. Both moxibustion and tamsulosin will be used 1, 10, and 24 h after operation, respectively. The outcomes of occurrence of POUR, time to first urination, catheterization rate, urinary tract infection, length of hospitalization, and adverse effects will be recorded. Discussion: The findings of the study will help to explore the preventive efficacy of prophylactic moxibustion against POUR of hemorrhoidectomy in 24 h.
