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

Intravesical injections of botulinum toxin-A have become established as an effective therapy in the management of neurogenic and idiopathic detrusor overactivity that is refractory to treatment with anticholinergic medication. The effects of the toxin are finite and repeated injections are required to sustain the beneficial therapeutic effects. The available data suggest a reproducible and sustained improvement in symptoms as well as urodynamic parameters following repeated injections of botulinum toxin-A. The reported incidence of adverse events is low and resistance to the toxin is uncommon. The timing of repeat injections within the published data is variable, reflecting differing practise among clinicians, but is typically 6-12 months. Larger scale studies are still required to clarify the usefulness of botulinum toxin-A as a long-term treatment in the management of detrusor overactivity.
