Multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled study on the efficacy of magnetic stimulation for women with urgency urinary incontinence.
Trial report in International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 4 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.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnetic stimulation for the treatment of urinary incontinence in women with overactive bladder.
methodsA total of 151 women with urgency incontinence were randomized to the active stimulation group or the sham stimulation group in a 2:1 order. An armchair type magnetic stimulator was used for 25-min magnetic stimulation twice a week, with the maximum magnetic flux density of 560 mT peak at 10 Hz. The sham device was set to deliver in a 5-s "on"-5-s "off" pulsing manner with the maximum intensity of 20.4% of active stimulation at 1 Hz. The study consisted of a baseline period for 1 week, and a treatment period for 6 weeks. The primary end-point was the number of leaks/week from the bladder diary. The secondary end-points were the number of voids and urgency/24 h, mean and maximum voided volume, and the quality of life assessment.
resultsChanges from baseline in the active and sham group, respectively, were -13.08 ± 11.00 and -8.68 ± 13.49 in leaks/week (P = 0.038), -2.65 ± 2.52 and -1.53 ± 2.39 in number of urgency/24 h (P = 0.011), and 14.03 ± 34.53 mL and -4.15 ± 40.60 mL in mean voided volume (P = 0.0056). As for safety, except for diarrhea and constipation, no patients experienced any device-related adverse event.
conclusionsMagnetic stimulation is effective for the treatment of urgency incontinence in female patients with overactive bladder.
