Stoller afferent nerve stimulation in woman with therapy resistant over active bladder; a 1-year follow up.
Article in International urogynecology journal and pelvic floor dysfunction, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimIn this prospective observational study, we investigated the efficacy of Stoller afferent nerve stimulation (SANS) in subjects with overactive bladder who failed anticholinergic treatment.
methodsThirty-five subjects with overactive bladder who failed therapy with oxybutynin participated in this study. Treatment (n = 35) was given once a week for 30 minutes for overall 10 weeks. In treatment, SANS device (Urosurge) was used. Subjects were assessed with 3-day voiding diary, SEAPI quality of life questionnaires and cystometry before therapy after completion of therapy and at one-year follow-up.
resultsIn 54% (n = 19) of subjects complete recovery was obtained after treatment. Urgency and SEAPI were reduced significantly whereas urine volume increased significantly (p < 0.01). Complete recovery was maintained in eight of the 19 subjects at one year.
conclusionsSANS treatment has a short-term positive effect in patients with resistant overactive bladder. However, it was also established that efficacy was maintained at 1 year in only 23% of subjects.
