Excisional urethroplasty and the abdominoperineal approach to posterior urethral stenosis: surgical techniques and considerations for the radiated patient.

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
Pelvic radiation is associated with significant long-term genitourinary toxicity, with a cumulative incidence of urethral stricture following primary prostate radiation of nearly 20%. While there are a variety of techniques for posterior urethral reconstruction in the setting of prior pelvic radiation therapy, excisional urethroplasty remains a mainstay of treatment. Complete scar excision with primary anastomosis (EPA) for posterior stricture below the pelvic floor and a combined abdominoperineal approach for those extending above the pelvic floor are two reconstructive techniques for managing this complex pathology. Reconstructive success, defined as urethral patency on cystourethroscopy, for EPA is between 70-87%; however, the risk of
