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

introduction and importanceAcute urinary retention (AUR) is uncommon in pediatric and adolescent populations, particularly among females. To highlight the presentation of AUR as a symptom of hematocolpos due to an imperforate hymen in a 15-year-old girl. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old girl presented with AUR and lower abdominal pain, which led to the diagnosis of hematocolpos. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: This case underscores clinicians' need to consider gynecological conditions in adolescent females with urinary retention. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial to prevent complications, such as hydronephrosis and renal damage.

conclusionClinicians should have a heightened awareness of this rare but significant cause of AUR, particularly in patients with a history of primary amenorrhea and cyclic abdominal pain.
