Surgical Drain-Related Small Bowel Obstruction After Open Radical Cystoprostatectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Surgical drains are commonly used to manage intraperitoneal fluid after major surgeries, but their prophylactic use has been controversial due to potential complications. One rarely reported complication is small bowel obstruction (SBO), primarily seen in post-colorectal surgeries. We present a case of SBO following open radical cystectomy due to surgical drain placement, a complication not previously reported in urologic surgeries. The case highlights the importance of considering the risks and benefits of prophylactic drain placement. It emphasizes the need for a higher index of suspicion for SBO in patients with surgical drains who develop post-operative nausea and distention. Timely radiological imaging and clinical examination are crucial for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
