Can urodynamic stress incontinence be diagnosed by ultrasound?
Observational study in International urogynecology journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisMultichannel urodynamic testing is commonly used to diagnose urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). It has been claimed that USI may be diagnosed by imaging. In this study we determined the predictive value of ultrasound findings for USI.
methodsThis is an observational study utilising data obtained during urodynamic testing. Data sets were analysed in 209 patients in order to determine the predictive value of sonographic findings for the diagnosis of USI.
resultsBladder neck descent and maximal urethral pressure were the only independent predictors of USI identified by multivariate logistic regression. The finding of a cystourethrocele with funnelling increased the odds of a diagnosis of USI by 2.5 (95 % confidence interval 1.17-5.4, p = 0.018).
conclusionsTranslabial ultrasound can identify an anatomical configuration that is associated with USI. However, sonographic findings are insufficient to predict USI and can not replace urodynamic testing.
