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
objectivePostpartum urinary retention is a frequently occurring condition for which screening is not typically a standardized part of postpartum care. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for postpartum urinary retention after the introduction of a universal postpartum voiding protocol.
methodsThis was a single-center retrospective case-control study of women delivering in a 12-month period. Women with a documented diagnosis of postpartum urinary retention per the institution's voiding protocol were classified as cases, and a matched sample of those without urinary retention were controls. Demographic and obstetric characteristics were compared between both groups using univariate and multivariate analyses as a means to identify risk factors for postpartum urinary retention.
results8992 women were studied during the time period examined; 195 (2.2%) were identified to have postpartum urinary retention. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, operative vaginal delivery (aOR 2.98 95% CI 1.32-6.70) and second-degree or greater perineal laceration (aOR 2.83 CI 1.59-5.04) were significantly associated with postpartum urinary retention.
conclusionsThe incidence of postpartum urinary retention with a postpartum voiding protocol in place was low. Risk factors identified for urinary retention included operative vaginal delivery and second degree or greater perineal laceration. Awareness of these risk factors and implementation of standardized voiding protocols may aid with the early identification and prevention of postpartum urinary retention.
