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

In clinical practice, urethral diseases are not as frequent as conditions affecting other components of the urinary system. Radiological imaging tests, such as retrograde urethrography, CT, MRI, and PET/CT, along with patient history, are crucial for accurately assessing relatively rare urethral lesions. This article aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of urethral lesions, from traumatic changes to neoplasms, and discuss the multimodal imaging findings of various urethral lesions that radiologists should know. To this end, the normal imaging anatomy of the urethra and a step-by-step approach that can be used in clinical practice have been presented to help in the systematic understanding of urethral lesions.
