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
introduction and importanceThis case report is intended to present an unusual cause of urinary retention by a congenital vaginal obstruction, such as hematocolpos. Hematocolpos is an obstruction of the menstrual flow due to an anomaly of the genital tract, with imperforate hymen being the most common one. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old female patient, was referred to our emergency department for recurrent abdominal pain lasting approximately 90 days. She presented with intermittent dysuria and supra pubic fullness. Ultrasonography confirmed acute urinary retention and features of hematocolpos [7]. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: High index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose and treat such patients promptly. Patients usually present with cyclic pain, primary amenorrhea, incomplete emptying of urine, chronic constipation, back pain and recurrent urinary tract infections. Our patient presented with acute urinary retention.
conclusionThis case report highlights the importance of early recognition of hematocolpos as a potential cause of cyclic pain, and urinary symptoms. Prompt and accurate diagnosis with the appropriate surgical managements, to resolve their symptoms with successful outcomes.
