1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This aim of this study was to determine the long-term persistence with duloxetine in a cohort of women treated for stress incontinence and any alternative treatments undertaken. Two hundred twenty-eight women prescribed duloxetine were initially reviewed after 4 weeks of treatment. Women continuing therapy were reassessed at 4 and 6 months and 1 year with a review of all treatments after 1 year. At each visit, they were asked about persistence with duloxetine, reasons for discontinuation and any alternative treatments. Seventy-one (31%) women continued beyond 4 weeks of treatment, and twenty-six (12%) were taking duloxetine 4 months later, 23 (10%) at 6 months and 21 (9%) at 1 year. One year later, 187 (82%) women had a tension-free vaginal tape operation (TVT). The majority of women discontinued because of side effects (56%) or lack of efficacy (33%). Few women persevere with duloxetine beyond 4 months. One year later, the majority of women had a TVT.
