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

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the incidence and clinical predictors of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and to evaluate whether preoperative bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) can independently predict POUR. PATIENTS AND

methodsBetween September 2023 and May 2024, a total of 200 patients (66 males, 134 females; median age: 69 years; range, 32 to 90 years) scheduled for primary total hip or knee arthroplasty were prospectively analyzed. Patients were classified into POUR (n=33) and non-POUR (n=167) groups. Demographic characteristics, urological history, operative variables, the International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS), and bladder scanner measurements were collected and compared.

resultsThe overall incidence of POUR was 16.5% (33/200). Compared to the non-POUR group, the POUR group exhibited significantly higher IPSS (p<0.001) and lower BVE (p=0.0016). Higher body mass index (p<0.001), hypertension (p<0.001), and diabetes mellitus (p<0.001) were significantly associated with POUR development.

conclusionHigher preoperative IPSS and lower BVE seem to be independently associated with POUR following TJA. Notably, BVE emerges as a novel and clinically meaningful predictor. Routine preoperative assessment of BVE and IPSS may aid in the early identification of high-risk patients, enabling the implementation of targeted strategies to prevent POUR and its associated complications.
