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
Objective: The aim of this study was to find the optimal force that should be applied to control urine leakage using a non-hydraulic cuff design, and to investigate the relationship between the number of cuffs used in urinary control and the change in demand force. Method: In this study, five sheep bladders were used to design and build a biomechanical evaluation system. The biomechanical system included the bladder, pressure gauge, pressure regulator system of the bladder, and force application system by the cuff. In this study, we increased the fluid pressure inside the bladder from 0 cmH Results: The study revealed that a mean tensile force of 2.81 (standard deviation 0.23) N for a single cuff and 1.63 (standard deviation 0.16) N for double cuffs with symmetrical pressure effectively prevented bladder fluid leakage in the pressure range from 75 cmH Conclusion: Using double cuffs with symmetrical pressure had a greater effect compared with a single cuff with the same tensile force. Although multiple cuffs with varying tensile forces were not found to be useful in controlling urine leakage in this study, it is suggested that applying variable forces alternately and rotationally among several cuffs may reduce long-term risks such as atrophy and necrosis.
