1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Robotic-assisted surgery is gaining popularity for the implantation of artificial urinary sphincters (AUS) in female patients. We present a case of a 76-year-old woman with refractory stress urinary incontinence. She underwent an uncomplicated robotic-assisted AUS implant. Post activation of the system, she experienced right-sided flank pain and developed urosepsis shortly thereafter. On imaging with an activated system, grade 3 hydro-ureteronephrosis (HUN) was seen. Robotic-assisted revision showed a right-sided ectopic ureter draining towards the bladder neck, which was compressed on activation of the system. A new cuff was successfully placed distal to the orifice with complete continence 3 months after the procedure.
