Postoperative bladder training in patients with mid-low rectal cancer facilitates early removal of the urinary catheter: a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial.

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
backgroundTo evaluate whether intermittent catheterization for bladder training can reduce urinary catheterization duration in patients undergoing mid-low rectal cancer surgery.
methodsStratified by gender, 330 patients were divided into a 5-day catheterization control group, and experimental groups A (3-day bladder training) and B (5-day bladder training), with 110 patients each.
resultsTwo-way ANOVA found that gender affected recatheterization, Pdet@Qmax, Qmax, BOOI and three-day total urine volume. No difference between groups A and B. Patients in experimental group A had a shorter time to first void (P = 0.030) and lower three-day average residual urine volume (P = 0.011) than the control group, and patients in experimental group B had a larger urine volume (P = 0.043) and lower first residual urine volume (P = 0.001). Bladder training reduced recatheterization in males. The nomogram constructed based on the logistic regression model better predicted the risk of urinary tract infection (AUC = 0.669) and recatheterization (AUC = 0.731). These two models may help provide new tools for the postoperative care of patients with mid-low rectal cancer.
conclusionsThree-day catheter removal after bladder training is non-inferior to five-day removal. Bladder training is effective in reducing the chances of recatheterization in patients with mid-low rectal cancer.
