Gracilis muscle transposition with electrical stimulation for sphincteric incontinence: a new approach.
Review in World journal of urology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neurovascularly intact gracilis-muscle transposition to the proximal urethra is an exciting new technique for sphincteric incontinence. The functional urethral closure of gracilis myoplasty assures dryness, permits intermittent self-catheterization when necessary, and avoids the risks of erosion associated with the artificial urinary sphincter. Electrical stimulation of the transposed muscle (dynamic urethral myoplasty) using intramuscular electrodes and a subcutaneously placed pulse generator can alter the molecular physiology of the gracilis muscle from that of predominantly fast-twitch to that of slow-twitch fibers that are fatigue-resistant and more suitable for long-term sphincter function.
