Inpatient bladder retraining: is it beneficial on its own?
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence is a common problem with serious effect on the quality of life. Bladder training aims to increase the interval between voids, either by a mandatory or self-adjustable schedule, so that incontinence is avoided. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of inpatient bladder retraining.
methodsA retrospective case-note analysis was conducted over a period of 24 months. Outcome measures were decrease in incontinence episode frequency (IEF) and nocturia and increase in interval between voids. Subjective improvement was assessed on a four-point scale.
resultsThe study revealed statistically significant decrease in IEF and nocturia and increase in the interval between voids. Twenty-three percent was cured of their symptoms, 36% reported improvement, 27% did not find any change, whereas 14% reported that they were worse off their after bladder retraining.
conclusionThe study confirms the usefulness of inpatient bladder retraining as a treatment option, especially in people refractory to outpatient management.
