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
Background: The capacity of a given shape of an orthotopic ileal neobladder (ONB) varies significantly, although the same length of preterminal ileum is utilised. Objective: To investigate the variability of the human ileal width and to create a mathematical formula that calculates its impact on the neobladder capacity. Design setting and participants: During 50 consecutive cases of robotic pelvic surgery, a segment of preterminal ileum was identified and the width was measured. A mathematical formula was created to calculate, for a given ileal length and width, the neobladder capacity and, for a given ileal width and neobladder capacity, the length of the (pre)terminal ileum to harvest. The accuracy of our model was tested on 28 pouches created by swine ileum. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The interindividual variability of the ileal width and its impact on the ileal neobladder capacity was investigated. Results and limitations: The mean hemicircumference of the human distal ileum is 2.43 ± 0.39 cm (range 2-3.5 cm). According to our geometric model and as confirmed in the swine model, an increase of 1 cm in ileal width increases the neobladder capacity by 85%. The Pearson correlation coefficient reported a strong positive relationship between the formula-calculated and effective volumes of the pouch ( Conclusions: The ileal width impacts the capacity of the ONB. For a given type of ONB, no standard length of ileum should be harvested; instead, the length should be tailored to the width of the ileum for a given patient. Clinical studies are required to confirm our model. Patient summary: We demonstrated the variability of the ileal width among humans, and we provided a mathematical formula tested on swine that evaluates the impact of the ileal width on the capacity of the orthotopic ileal neobladder.
