Immediate Urethral Reconstruction for Membranous Urethral Injury During Rectal Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Urethral injury, although occurring at a measurable frequency during rectal surgery, remains underrecognized by urologists. Case Presentation: A 57-year-old man underwent laparoscopy-assisted abdominoperineal resection for advanced rectoanal cancer. During anterior rectal dissection using electrocautery, the urethral catheter was inadvertently exposed. A partial tear of the dorsal half of the membranous urethra was directly visible through the perineal incision. The urethra was repaired in a watertight manner following standard principles of urethral reconstruction. On postoperative Day 15, retrograde urethrocystography confirmed the absence of extravasation or stricture, and the urethral catheter was removed. The patient subsequently demonstrated satisfactory voiding function. Conclusions: Immediate urethral reconstruction for injury sustained during rectal surgery can result in favorable postoperative outcomes. Awareness of this complication is essential for urologists, particularly as surgical techniques continue to evolve.
