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
Introduction: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of changes in urinary continence on postoperative quality of life (QoL) and patient satisfaction after urethroplasty for proximal bulbar urethral stricture following transurethral resection of the prostate (post-TURP PBUS). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 34 patients who underwent urethroplasty for post-TURP PBUS at two centers between November 2013 and August 2024. Patients with complete pre- and postoperative data from a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF), along with postoperative cystoscopic findings, were included. Worsening continence (WC) was defined as an increase in ICIQ-SF total score at 6 months. Stricture-free (SF) status was defined as the smooth passage of a cystoscope. The impact of WC and SF status on postoperative QoL and patient satisfaction was analyzed. Results: Among the 34 patients (excision and primary anastomosis: 13, nontransecting anastomotic urethroplasty: 20, and onlay augmentation: 1), 32 (94%) achieved SF status. WC occurred in 5 (14%) patients, while 33 (97%) remained socially pad-free. Although ICIQ-SF scores showed no significant change ( Conclusions: Urethroplasty for post-TURP PBUS appears to have minimal impact on continence and is associated with high QoL and satisfaction. This study is among the first to systematically evaluate these outcomes using validated PROMs in this specific population.
