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
Prostate procedures, including radical prostatectomies and transurethral outlet surgeries, are commonly performed in the U.S. with complications such as vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) and bladder neck contracture (BNC) affecting 2-12% of patients. Traditionally, patients with VUAS or BNC have been managed through recurrent dilations or resections, though success rates vary. Steroids and mitomycin C have shown some benefit, but refractory cases may require complex abdominoperineal repairs. Robotic surgeries have improved outcomes, with success rates ranging from 75% to 100%, albeit with the associated increased risks and limitations of intra-abdominal surgeries. In 2021, our group introduced the transurethral incision with transverse mucosal realignment (TUITMR) procedure, a technique that offers a similar approach to robotic urethroplasties by incising scar tissue and advancing healthy bladder mucosa. In a study of 19 patients evaluated within 1 year of surgical correction, TUITMR demonstrated an 89% success rate after one treatment and 100% after two, importantly, with no reported
