Bladder-wall-thickness ultrasound scan in the investigation of LUTS in women: challenges and limitations.
Article 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 3 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
Bladder-wall-thickness (BWT) ultrasound assessment in lower urinary tract conditions has been studied extensively for the last 30 years. There is some evidence that it may have diagnostic utility in detrusor overactivity (DO). The cutoff value for BWT for diagnosing DO is still a matter of debate, with different studies using different values. Transvaginal scanning is the most accurate route of measuring BWT, with excellent interobserver variation and reproducibility. There is still ongoing evaluation of bladder ultrasound and its place in the investigation of overactive bladder symptoms.
