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

Urethral prolapse is a rare and benign condition where the inner urethral lining protrudes through the external urethral opening. This condition is mostly seen in prepubertal and postmenopausal women. Risk factors include obesity, multiparity, and the onset of menopause. It has a low occurrence, resulting in frequent underdiagnosis. This is compounded by its typical delayed diagnosis. We present a case of a 71-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with persistent urinary symptoms. After multiple failed conservative treatments, she underwent a successful urethral prolapse excision. Our case highlights the importance of considering urethral prolapse as a differential diagnosis in a postmenopausal woman with continual urinary symptoms.
