1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bladder injury is a rare but serious complication that can occur during cesarean deliveries with an incidence of between 0.25% and 0.9%. Most bladder injuries (53%) occur upon entering the peritoneal cavity as a consequence of either extensive adhesions, a distorted pelvic anatomy, or an unexpectedly high-situated bladder owing to previous operations including a previous cesarean delivery. Patients with a previous abdominal operation can benefit from a preoperative ultrasound to identify the upper limits of an unexpectedly enlarged urinary bladder, even after preoperative catheterization. A modified surgical approach can then be applied to allow entry into the peritoneum above the bladder, thus preventing severe bladder injury. Surgeons may consider the use of preoperative sonography before operating on women with a previous abdominal surgery, especially following midline incisions, to improve safety and to potentially modify abdominal entry into the peritoneal cavity to avoid bladder injury.
