Sacral neuromodulation for neurogenic bladder and bowel dysfunction with multiple symptoms secondary to spinal cord disease.
Article in Spinal cord, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
designRetrospective case series.
objectivesThe primary aim was to assess the clinical effects of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for neurogenic bladder and/or bowel dysfunction with multiple symptoms secondary to spinal cord disease or injury.
settingBeijing, China.
methodsBetween 2011 and 2013, 23 patients with multiple bladder and/or bowel problems secondary to spinal cord disease or injury were treated with a preliminary test SNM. If at least 50% clinical improvement occurred, then the patient underwent a permanent SNM procedure. We evaluated the patients using a bladder diary, post-void residual volume measurement and the Wexner questionnaire score for constipation before the test phase, during the test phase and after the permanent SNM.
resultsIn the test phase, the rate of improvement in dysuria (29.4%) was significantly lower than urgency frequency (64.7%), urinary incontinence (69.2%) and constipation (75.0%). An implant was performed in 13 (56.5%) patients, including 4 patients who still used intermittent catheterization to exclude urine after permanent SNM because the symptom of dysuria could not be improved significantly and 1 patient who achieved ⩾50% improvement in lower urinary tract dysfunction but not in constipation. During follow-up (17.5±2.0 months), 1 patient (7.7%) failed and 1 patient had bilateral vesicoureteral reflux.
conclusionChronic SNM cannot always resolve all the bladder and bowel symptoms secondary to spinal cord disease or injury, but combined with other treatments may help improve multiple symptoms.
