Success rates for learning intermittent self-catheterisation according to age and gender.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04010656 (Optimization of Spontaneous Trial of Void), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 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
purposeVoiding dysfunction becomes increasingly prevalent with ageing. Clean intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) is associated with a lower morbidity than indwelling transurethral or suprapubic catheterisation. However, doctors and patients sometimes fail to consider ISC as an option because of a perception it will be unmanageable or poorly tolerated. This study aimed to determine how age and gender affect the success rates of patients being taught ISC.
methodsSix years retrospective study (January 2004-January 2010) of non-neurogenic patients referred to be taught ISC by urology specialist nurses in a tertiary referral hospital. Patients were sent information about ISC in advance of their appointment, were given additional information at the appointment, received training under supervision and had access to follow-on support. Successful patients were those who continued to perform the technique independently at 6-week follow-up.
resultsThree hundred and nine patients (209 men, 100 women) with a mean age of 63 years (range 17-95 years) were taught ISC during the study period and had documented follow-up. The main reasons for needing ISC were incomplete bladder emptying (46%), urethral stricture disease (20%) and inability to void (18%). The overall ISC success rate was 84% for all age groups, 86% for patients under the age of 65 and 82% for those aged 65 years and over. Men had a higher success rate than women (88 and 76%, respectively).
conclusionsOlder patients can successfully be taught ISC in a high proportion, and it can be offered as an alternative to an indwelling catheter irrespective of age.
