Comparing the incidence of postoperative painful bladder spasm between malecot catheter and 3-way Foley catheter: a clinical trial.

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: In this study, the effect of Pezzer (as a Pezzer catheter) and three-way Foley catheters, used for suprapubic catheterization after open prostatectomy, was investigated in terms of early incidence of painful bladder spasms. Materials and methods: In this single-blind clinical trial study, 160 patients diagnosed with LUTS/BPH were placed in two groups of 80 Pezzer catheter (Pezzer(size 28)) and three-way Foley catheters (size 24) for suprapubic catheterization. The evaluated variables in this study are age, prostate weight, narcotics dose, Spasm frequency, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), visual analogue scale (VAS), catheterization period. Results: The frequency of spasm in Foley group was significantly lower (4.4±7.26 vs. 6.28±4.4; Conclusion: The findings of our study showed that despite slightly favourable results in using suprapubic Foley catheter compared to Pezzer catheters in patients with open prostatectomy in terms of pain and spasm frequency, there was no significant difference between the use of these two types of catheters.
