Acute obstructive uropathy secondary to a rectus sheath haematoma in an anticoagulated patient.

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
A rectus sheath haematoma (RSH) is a relatively rare cause of acute abdominal pain that is becoming more prevalent due to an increase in anticoagulant therapy. Of its associated complications, acute obstructive uropathy is exceedingly rare. This is a case of a 62-year-old lady who presented with abdominal pain caused by an RSH which then led to obstructive uropathy. She had undergone laparoscopic removal of a gastric band 6 days prior and due to a mechanical mitral valve, required ongoing anticoagulation. Initially, she had a contained RSH, but this subsequently decompressed into the extraperitoneal space, causing acute obstructive uropathy secondary to external compression. She was managed with ureteric stenting and her anticoagulation was appropriately modified throughout her admission. This case highlights that the challenging aspect of RSH management involves tailoring treatment to address individual patient factors and the location of the haematoma itself.
