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

Congenital bladder diverticulum is a rare cause of acute urinary retention in infants and children, often requiring surgical repair. Given technical complexities and anesthetic risks associated with neonatal surgery, neonates presenting with urinary retention are typically managed using a staged approach involving an immediate vesicostomy followed by delayed surgical repair. We present the case of a two-week-old male neonate with acute urinary retention due to a large congenital bladder diverticulum. His urinary retention was initially managed with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). He ultimately underwent successful surgical excision of the diverticulum at seven months of age. Initial management with CIC may obviate the need for immediate surgery in neonates and young infants with congenital bladder diverticula presenting with acute urinary retention.
