Effectiveness and durability of solifenacin versus percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus their combination for the treatment of women with overactive bladder syndrome: a randomized controlled study with a follow-up of ten months.
Trial report in International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 3 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
purposeTo assess effectiveness and durability of Solifenacin (SS) versus tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) versus combination therapy (PTNS + SS) in women with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). MATERIALS AND
methods105 women with OAB were divided randomly into three groups of 35 patients each. In group A women received SS, in group B women underwent PTNS, in group C women underwent combination of PTNS + SS. Improvements in OAB symptoms were assessed with OABSS questionnaire; patients' quality of life was assessed with OAB-q SF questionnaire. Evaluation of effectiveness of treatments was performed with PGI-I questionnaire. OABSS and PGI-I were also assessed monthly for ten months.
resultsAll treatments were effective on symptoms. PTNS showed a greater effectiveness than SS, but PTNS + SS was more effective than SS and PTNS. Furthermore, PTNS + SS showed a greater duration of effectiveness than PTNS and SS.
conclusionsCombination of PTNS with SS showed more effectiveness and more durability than PTNS and SS alone.
