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
backgroundMost patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), bowel dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. If these remain untreated, severe medical complications and serious limitations (restrictions) in quality of life are imminent.
objectivesIn the long term, there are considerable differences in the treatment results of highly specialized centers versus other treatment facilities. MATERIALS AND
methodsAgainst this background, a consensus-based guideline, according to the AWMF (Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany) criteria (S2k), was developed by the neuro-urology working group of the DMPG (German-Speaking Medical Society of Paraplegia).
resultsThe guideline defines the principles and objectives of the neuro-urological care of patients with SCI and discusses in detail the principles of diagnosis and therapy of NLUTD. The need for video-urodynamic studies as a basis for the classification of the NLUTD and as a foundation for the development of a treatment strategy is emphasized. Both conservative and surgical therapy options and their indications are explained in detail. Possible complications and their prevention in the long-term course of SCI are presented with a particular consideration of the specific features of urinary tract infections and autonomic dysreflexia. Finally, the principles of the provision of urological appliances are discussed.
conclusionsThe presented S2k guideline provides the current standards in the neuro-urological care of patients with NLUTD due to SCI. Their consistent implementation both in the acute and chronic phase as well as in the context of lifelong surveillance of SCI patients should prevent the impending complications of NLUTD.
