Risk factors and development of a nomogram prediction model for urinary dysfunction after laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal cancer.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Urinary dysfunction is a relatively common functional complication after laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal cancer and may affect postoperative recovery and quality of life. This study aimed to identify risk factors for urinary dysfunction after laparoscopic radical rectal cancer surgery and to develop a nomogram prediction model to facilitate early identification of high-risk patients. Methods: A total of 392 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal cancer between January 2021 and December 2025 were retrospectively included. Patients were grouped according to the occurrence of postoperative urinary dysfunction and randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort at a ratio of 7:3. Demographic, tumor-related, and perioperative variables were collected. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors, and a nomogram model was constructed. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and decision curve analysis. Results: Among the 392 patients, 84 developed postoperative urinary dysfunction, with an incidence of 21.4%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years, male sex, Conclusion: Age, sex, tumor distance from the anal verge, intraoperative fluid rate, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, pelvic autonomic nerve preservation, and postoperative urinary tract infection were closely associated with urinary dysfunction after laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal cancer. The nomogram based on these factors showed good predictive performance and may help identify high-risk patients, guide urinary catheter management, and support postoperative follow-up.
