A rare complication of urinary catheter insertion: Proximal ureteric rupture and sepsis.
Article in Urology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Catheter-related injuries to the distal urinary tract are well described however injury to the ureters are very rare. A 76-year-old Caucasian female presented with proximal ureteric rupture and sepsis caused by cannulation of the ureter with a catheter and inflation of the balloon within the lumen. The patient was managed with intravenous antibiotics, nephrostomy and ureteric stenting. Patients with neurogenic bladder may have vesico-ureteric reflux with patulous ureteric orifice. Long-term catheters may result in a contacted bladder, thereby altering the anatomical relationship of the bladder neck and ureteric orifice. Both of which may increase the risk of this complication.
