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

Urinoma is an encapsulated collection of extravasated urine in the retroperitoneal space. This rare and potentially dangerous event can occur spontaneously or iatrogenically varying from asymptomatic cases to acute abdomen. The initial diagnostic modality is ultrasound. Suspicious ultrasound findings are confirmed by CT or MRI. Treatment depends on the inciting factor and varies from conservative management to interventional drainage procedures. We report the case of a male patient with known urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder who presented acutely with a complaint of progressive painful swelling in the right lumbar region. Imaging revealed a breach in the right ureter leading to urinary extravasation and the formation of progressively enlarging urinoma extending to the contralateral lumbar region. Based on radiological diagnosis, the patient was urgently referred to a urologist. Spontaneous renal rupture should be one of the differentials of a patient presenting with acute abdomen as it can lead to a rare and potentially threatening condition of urinoma.
