Drug-coated balloon dilation for female urethral stricture.
Article in Urology case reports, 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
Drug-coated balloon dilation (DCB) has demonstrated long-term efficacy for male patients with urethral stricture disease (USD); however, the role of DCB for female USD remains unknown. We present the second published case report utilizing DCB for female USD, describing our perioperative experience as well as six-month outcomes. This report calls for multi-site collaboration to further investigate the potential benefits of DCB for female USD.
