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
introductionTo examine the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) level required to achieve catheter-free urination in cases where a urinary catheter was inserted due to urinary retention, urination difficulty, or urinary incontinence in an acute care hospital.
methodsThis study included patients who were originally capable of self-urination but required rehabilitative therapy and intervention by the multidisciplinary urination care team for difficulty in removal of indwelled Foley catheter during hospitalization. The primary outcome was catheter-free independent urination. Patients who achieved urinary independence through self-catheterization for prolonged neurogenic bladder dysfunction were excluded. ADL scores before and after the intervention were evaluated using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), which was consisted of motor FIM (mFIM), cognitive FIM, and total FIM, with and without deduction for urinary control score (-UC). Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with independent urination, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to determine the appropriate cutoff.
resultsThe study included 87 cases (72.8 ± 12.4 years old, male:female = 51:36). Catheter-free urination was achieved in 43 (49%) patients. There were no significant differences between the catheter-dependent and catheter-free groups in terms of gender, age, hospitalized departments, treatment methods, total duration of admission, duration of intervention, discharged destination, and comorbidities. At the end of the intervention, the FIM scores were all significantly higher in the catheter-free group than in the catheter-dependent group. To achieve catheter-free urination, mFIM-UC at the end of the intervention was the only statistically significant corelate (p < 0.001). In the ROC analysis, the AUC of mFIM-UC at the end of the intervention was 0.834, and the optimal cutoff value was 30 points (full score 84), with a sensitivity of 0.91 and specificity of 0.66.
conclusionADL as represented by mFIM is a major correlate of catheter-free urination.
