Safety and efficacy of a patient-controlled bladder management system for treating urinary retention in men.
Article in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
aimsThe CymActive™ Bladder Management System (BMS) is a self-retaining, intraurethral catheter with a patient-controlled magnetic valve that allows cyclical bladder filling and emptying, without external appliances. We determined the safety and efficacy of the BMS in men with urinary retention who required catheterization for more than 7 days.
methodsMen requiring continuous drainage, bladder capacity less than 300 ml, history of prostatic or urethral surgery, or urethral length outside of defined limits, were excluded. Data were collected from patient diaries and weekly visits during catheterization for up to 30 days. The primary composite endpoint assessed four outcomes: placement, post-void residual volume (PVR) of 75 ml or less, adverse device-related events requiring early removal, and removal.
resultsNine of 23 patients met all four criteria: eight of 18 non-neurogenic (7/11 prior Foley users and 1/7 without Foley experience) and one of five neurogenic spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Secondary outcomes in non-neurogenic patients included: 17/18 successful insertions; of these, 16/17 average PVR of 75 ml; successful valve openings and closings ≥ 95% of more than 1,400 voids; and minimal leakage. Four of five SCI patients discontinued within 7 days. Cystourethroscopy after removal revealed no marked inflammation or mucosal changes.
conclusionsThis pilot study demonstrated the BMS is potentially useful, convenient, and safe for appropriate patients. A follow-up study will better define the characteristics of patients who benefit from this device and examine whether the use of antimuscarinic agents improves outcomes. Neurourol.
