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

Cannabinoids affect lower urinary tract function, but clinical evidence linking cannabis to urinary retention is limited. We report a 22-year-old healthy male with acute urinary retention and isolated detrusor acontractility despite normal neurological and urological evaluation. History revealed markedly increased cannabis use in the weeks preceding symptom onset. Four months later - with absolute abstinence from cannabis - bladder function fully recovered with restoration of normal detrusor activity and spontaneous voiding. This case suggests that cannabis use may represent a reversible cause of urinary retention and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained urinary retention in young adults.
