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

purposeThis study evaluated the relationship between urethral diverticulum volume (UDv), urethral sphincter complex volume (USCv), clinical and urodynamic characteristics, and surgical outcomes in women with UD.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 53 female patients who underwent diverticulectomy for UD. They were divided into two groups: proximal/middle UD (pmUD, n = 43) and distal UD (dUD, n = 10). Preoperative assessments included videourodynamic study (VUDS) and magnetic resonance imaging, with a follow-up VUDS 1 month post-surgery.

resultsCompared to the dUD group, pmUD patients were less likely to present with a vaginal lump (37.2% vs. 80.0%, p = 0.031) but had significantly larger USCv (9.96 ± 5.91 cm

conclusionA USCv cutoff of ≥ 8.2 cm
