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

purpose of reviewUnderactive Bladder (UAB) is an emerging concept of voiding dysfunction, building on a tradition of often overlapping and confusing terminologies describing the patient experience, urodynamic function, and pathophysiology. This confusion of symptoms with function with pathology has hampered development of an effective disease model. RECENT

findingsAs with other urinary symptoms, the relationship of voiding symptoms to urodynamic dysfunction is variable. Efforts are underway to formally define UAB as a collection of symptoms related to voiding. Defined as voiding symptoms, UAB cannot be reliably linked to detrusor underactivity (DU) nor to detrusor weakness. SUMMARY: Progress will be made by characterizing the functional disorders underlying UAB symptoms, examining the biology of these linkages, re-conceptualizing urinary control as one part of a more global biologic adaptive physiology, and determining the relationships of central and peripheral pathologies leading to disrupted control mechanisms.
