Insertion of a Foreign Body Into the Urethra: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Many incidents of insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra have been recorded in the literature, mainly due to self-erotic stimulation, but also have been associated with intoxication, psychiatric disorders, and senility. An accurate history is sometimes difficult to be taken due to the embarrassment and fear of the patients, delaying therefore the accurate and prompt diagnosis. Besides the patient's history and clinical examination, imaging tests like ultrasound, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT), potentially accompanied by psychosexual evaluation, may guide the urologist in establishing the correct diagnosis and offering the patient the appropriate holistic treatment. In this case report, a 73-year-old man presented in the emergency department with dysuria, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. A cylindrical glass tube, which was used to test the pH of alcoholic solutions, was found broken into the posterior urethra, and endoscopic extraction was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia.
