Micturition in the toilet compared with bedpan in laboring Nulliparas: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBladder overdistension in labor may lead to prolonged postpartum urinary retention. We hypothesized that nulliparas mobilizing to toilet is more likely to achieve satisfactory micturition.
methodsOne hundred sixteen (58 in each arm) term nulliparas in labor with filled bladders were randomized to mobilizing to the toilet or using bedpan to micturate. Primary outcome was satisfactory micturition defined as ultrasound derived post-void bladder volume < 150 ml. Following unsatisfactory micturition, participants crossover to the opposed intervention. Participants were catheterized if after crossover, residual bladder volume was ≥250 ml.
resultsSatisfactory micturition rates were 55/58 (95%) vs. 43/58 (74%) RR 1.28 95%CI 1.08-1.51 NNT
conclusionSatisfactory micturition was more frequently achieved with mobilization to the toilet than bedpan use. Women in both arms overwhelmingly prefer to mobilize to the toilet to urinate.
