Ultrasound measurement of bladder wall thickness in different forms of detrusor overactivity.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03516292 (Potential Biomarkers in the Study of Overactive Bladder in Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers.
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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisAims of this study were to compare the ultrasound measurement of bladder wall thickness (BWT) in women with different urodynamic diagnosis and to correlate BWT to the different urodynamic findings of detrusor overactivity (DO).
methodsTwo hundred forty seven women with urinary symptoms have been prospectively enrolled. Urodynamics and transvaginal ultrasound BWT were performed. Patients were divided into four urodynamic subgroups. BWT of women with DO was compared with the BWT of any other subgroup.
resultsWomen with DO had a BWT value significantly higher (p < 0.0001). A cut-off of 6.5 mm for BWT had a positive predictive value of 100% for all DO. We use ROC curves to analyze the BWT for urgency urinary incontinence (AUC 0.645 95% CI 0.57-0.72) and the BWT for "pure DO" (AUC 0.702 95% CI 0.64-0.76) and for "all DO" (AUC 0.704 95% CI 0.64-0.77) vs other urodynamic diagnoses.
conclusionsThe ultrasound BWT showed a highly significant association with DO. However, the performance of this test cannot currently replace urodynamic testing.
