Urethral Stricture Associated With an Artificial Urethral Sphincter: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Artificial urinary sphincter implantation is the standard treatment for moderate-to-severe stress urinary incontinence in men. We report a case of urethral stricture associated with an artificial urinary sphincter in a patient who underwent urethroplasty and subsequent replacement of the implant. Case Presentation: A 64-year-old man who had undergone radical retropubic prostatectomy presented to our department for stress urinary incontinence. An artificial urinary sphincter was implanted, and the incontinence resolved. Eleven years later, the patient returned because of voiding symptoms. Urethroscopy and retrograde urethrography revealed a pendulous urethral stricture, measuring approximately 2 mm in length. The patient underwent implant removal and non-transecting anastomotic urethroplasty. Postoperative urethroscopy confirmed resolution of the stricture. Artificial urinary sphincter reimplantation was performed 6 months later, restoring continence. Conclusion: Non-transecting urethroplasty to treat short urethral strictures associated with an artificial urinary sphincter may increase the success of artificial sphincter replacement.
