Validity and reliability of patient selected goals as an outcome measure in overactive bladder.
Trial report in International urogynecology journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 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
introduction and hypothesisThe purpose of this study is to assess the validity of patient goal achievement in overactive bladder (OAB).
methodsData were taken from a placebo-controlled randomised trial of transdermal oxybutynin and open label extension study. Face validity was assessed using qualitative analysis. Convergent validity was assessed by comparison with objective symptom improvement. Responsiveness was assessed at 4 s, using the standardised effect size. Reliability was assessed between 4 and 12 weeks of treatment.
resultsNinety-six women were randomised. There were moderate correlations (0.50-0.51) between goal achievement and symptom improvement for urinary urgency and urge incontinence. Mean goal achievement demonstrated good reliability (intraclass correlation = 0.82) but low responsiveness (r = 0.14) between transdermal oxybutynin and placebo-treated groups.
conclusionsAlthough patient goals have good face validity and can be reliably measured, they have limited convergence with conventional measures of OAB severity and improvement and low responsiveness.
