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

aimsRecently, [Brown et al Neurourol Urodyn. 36:1151-1154, 2017] reported a remarkable study regarding detrusor underactivity (DU) by categorizing the possible phenotypes. Although this study presents novel findings on the possible phenotypes, several points need to be clarified further for a better understanding.

methodsThe methodology, especially regarding categorizing the phenotypes has been reviewed and comments have been added for better understanding of their study.

resultsTo better understand novel results of their study, several points have to be considered, which include cluster analysis and categorization according to symptomatic presentations.

conclusionsPhenotyping by either etiologies or covariates and by syndromic presentations is not easy. Due to the aging features, multiple factors are needed during interpretation of the categorized phenotypes. Considering the advantage of the clinical benefit from the patient's viewpoint, categorization of syndromic symptomatic presentation using multiple validated tools including patient-reported outcomes is needed.
