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
introductionIntradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) is well-established as treatment for patients with neurogenic bladders. Urodynamics (UDS) is used at regular intervals during followup to monitor intravesical pressure. With regards to the discomfort and risks associated with UDS, our objective was to assess if UDS done at regular intervals in the followup of neurogenic bladders treated with BoNTA had an impact on management.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the medical records of adult patients with neurological disorders treated with BoNTA for either detrusor overactivity or low bladder compliance at the Institut de Réadaptation en Déficience Physique de Québec (IRDPQ). At our centre, UDS was routinely performed at baseline, three months after the first treatment, then three months after every fifth set of injections.
resultsWe identified 57 patients with neurological disorder treated with intravesical BoNTA. Each patient had between one and 19 sets of injections (mean 5.61 injections) and 1-6 followup UDS (mean 2.09). Of the 119 followup UDS reviewed at our centre, three UDS (2.5%) resulted in a modification of the urinary tract management from BoNTA to bladder augmentation. Two regimens were suspended and one was ended due to patient preference.
conclusionsOur study showed that UDS at pre-set intervals for followup of patients receiving BoNTA injections were rarely associated with modifications in the treatment course. Therefore, UDS should only be performed in cases where there are changes in the patient's symptoms or if the urologist suspects that the treatment response is suboptimal.
