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

Urethral diverticulum (UD) during pregnancy is a rare clinical condition, with limited literature available to guide standardized management. Fewer than a dozen well-documented cases have been reported, but they reflect a wide range of clinical approaches from antenatal surgery to postpartum intervention. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman diagnosed at 34 weeks of gestation with a 5.5 cm urethral diverticulum, presenting with suprapubic pain, urinary dribbling, and green vaginal discharge. Conservative management was pursued due to obstetric concerns, including multiple uterine fibroids and risk of preterm labor. Advanced ultrasonographic techniques-biplane transvaginal imaging, transperineal ultrasound, and 3D surface rendering-enabled a detailed anatomical assessment of parameters including the lesion's size, shape, and relationship to the urethra, without resorting to invasive diagnostics. The diverticulum was found to cause 90° urethral angulation and had a C-shaped configuration, with a volume of 11.5 cm
