[Urodynamic studies prior to urinary incontinence surgery : What is useful?]
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Surgery is often necessary after failure of conservative therapy for urinary incontinence. Guidelines recommend urodynamic studies before surgery. A distinction is made between non-invasive (uroflowmetry) and invasive methods (cystometry and pressure-flow study, if necessary as combined videourodynamics, as well as urethral pressure profile). All examinations serve to objectify and quantify the symptoms, to correctly assign symptoms to the pathophysiology and anatomy as well as to identify risk factors, which often have a significant influence on the success of surgical therapy. Given appropriate experience, complications and often significant sequelae of bladder dysfunction affecting the patient's quality of life and life expectancy can be recognized. Urodynamic studies are performed to help narrow down potential diagnoses, to develop therapeutic strategies, and to obtain prognostic parameters. The following article is intended to provide some support.
