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

To present single institution open-label experience with intravesical liposomes (LPs), a mucosal protective agent, in patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) and to assess the safety and efficacy on IC/PBS symptoms. A total of 17 symptomatic IC/PBS patients were treated with intravesical LPs (80mg/40mL distilled water) once a week for 4 weeks (n=12) or twice a week treatment for 4 weeks (n=5). The primary outcome was the change in the O'Leary-Sant Symptom/Problem score and O'Leary-Sant total Score from baseline to Week 4 and Week 8. Other outcome measurements included the changes in pain scale, urgency scale, voiding log, and patient global assessment. Both weekly and biweekly LP instillation regiments were well tolerated. The incidence of urinary incontinence, retention, or unanticipated adverse changes was not noted at any dose either during the treatment or at the 4-week follow-up. The O'Leary-Sant Symptom/Problem score, O'Leary-Sant total Score, and pain score were significantly improved from baseline at both dose regimens with added benefit with the biweekly regimen. Intravesical LPs treatment is safe and its efficacy has sustained duration. Furthermore large-scale, placebo-controlled studies are warranted to assess the efficacy for this promising new treatment for IC/PBS.
