Use of a hydraulic occluder to control urinary incontinence in a cat after prepubic urethrostomy for post-trauma urethral injury.
Article in JFMS open reports. 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
Case summary: An 8-year-old castrated male cat presented with a 7-year history of urinary incontinence (UI) and severe urinary scalding (US) caused by continuous urine leakage after prepubic urethrostomy (PPU) performed at 5 months of age for urinary trauma. The patient experienced significant pain and discomfort associated with US. Despite attempts at medical management, the patient's condition did not improve. Consequently, a hepatic occluder (HO) device was implanted around the shortened urethra after the PPU. Gradual occluder inflation was conducted over approximately 13 weeks to facilitate sphincter function recovery. The HO device effectively improved and controlled the UI, significantly enhancing the patient's quality of life and satisfying the owners. Relevance and novel information: This case report describes the successful use of an HO to manage UI in a cat with a structurally irregular and shortened urethra resulting from traumatic injury and multiple prior surgeries. Urethral sphincter occluders, including HO, may represent a viable salvage option for managing UI in cats with complex urethral anatomy.
