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

backgroundThe effects of non-infectious urinary catheter-related complications such as measurements of indwelling urinary catheter overuse, catheter-related trauma, and urinary retention are not well understood.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 200 patients undergoing general surgery operations. Variables to measure urinary catheter use, trauma, and retention were developed, then surgical cases were abstracted. Inter- and intra-rater reliability were calculated for measure validation.

results129 of 200 (65%) had an indwelling urinary catheter placed at the time of surgery. 32 patients (16%) had urinary retention, and variation was observed in the treatment of urinary retention. 12 patients (6%) had urinary trauma. Rater reliability was high (>90% agreement for all) for the dichotomous outcomes of urinary catheter use, urinary catheter-related trauma, and urinary retention.

conclusionsThis study suggests a persistent high rate of catheter use, significant rates of urinary retention and trauma, and variation in the management of retention.
