1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionTo assess the feasibility of converting from 300IU to 200IU OnabotulinumtoxinA in patients diagnosed with either idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO) or neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). MATERIAL AND

methodsRetrospective case-notes review of patients who were converted from 300IU to 200IU OnabotulinumtoxinA. Subjective patient reported improvements at interview and bladder diary reported parameters of urgency, urgency incontinence, frequency and nocturia.

resultsForty-four patients had received 300IU OnabotulinumtoxinA and were switched to 200IU after July 2008, 28 for IDO and 16 for NDO. Thirty-seven patients reported ongoing improvement with 200IU OnabotulinumtoxinA, six patients had worsening in their symptoms since down-titrating to 200IU and one patient did not attend follow-up. Improvement in urgency and urgency incontinence episodes per day were 82% and 72%, respectively, in patients who received 200IU. Of the 44 patients, 39 continued to receive 200IU, four requested up-titration to 300IU (due to decreased effect) and one did not attend after the 1st treatment. After converting from 300IU to 200IU, additional three patients were started on CISC for de novo voiding difficulty.

conclusionsSeventy-nine percent of patients were satisfied with their symptoms after switching from 300IU to 200IU OnabotulinumtoxinA. Only 9% of patients (all with NDO) reverted back to receiving 300IU. This study showed similar efficacy and longevity in the majority of patients (90%) using 200IU in both NDO and IDO.
