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

Urinary retention is described as an inability to voluntarily empty the bladder, with potential etiologies including mechanical obstruction and neurologic dysfunction. Abused substances like methamphetamine and cannabis can induce this dysfunction. We report a case about a patient with no prior psychiatric history with concomitant methamphetamine and cannabis use, presenting with an acute delirious state and urinary retention. Due to the multifactorial nature and acuity of a patient's presentation, clinicians should be aware of the potential for substance abuse to impact bladder function and consider this in patients who present with urinary symptoms, including urinary retention.
