Complication rate of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction after spinal cord injury in Taiwan.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeIn view of the limited information on neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) after spinal cord injury (SCI) in the literature, this study aimed to investigate the complication rate of NLUTD after SCI and to describe the clinical management of NLUTD in Taiwan.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan from which patients newly diagnosed with SCI during 2006-2008 were extracted. Records of diagnosis, prescriptions, and procedures for patients were retrieved to identify NLUTD cases. The utilization of medical treatments including pharmacotherapy and procedures such as intermittent and indwelling catheters was analyzed.
resultsA total of 941 eligible SCI patients were identified, with a mean age of 48.4 (±18.5), of which 575 (61.1 %) were male, and 500 (53.1 %) were with cervical SCI. By the end of 1-year follow-up, 165 (17.5 %) had developed NLUTD. The characteristics were mostly similar between the NLUTD and non-NLUTD groups except in age and length of stay (LOS) in hospitals, where patients with NLUTD were 7.5 years old and had 2.15-month-longer LOS. Over 80 % of NLUTD patients received urinary catheterization, with approximately half also receiving pharmacotherapy.
conclusionsThis is the first study using nationwide datasets to evaluate the overall complication rate of NLUTD associated with SCI, which is shown to be lower than previously reported. While various treatment options are available, urinary catheterization is the most common treatment for NLUTD.
