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

introduction and hypothesisVoiding dysfunction has gained interest due to its high prevalence in the elderly. This study characterized bladder dysfunction in women with voiding dysfunction using video urodynamic studies (VUDS) focused on detrusor underactivity (DU).

methodsWe studied 1914 women in which first-line medical treatment failed. Age, comorbidities, and urodynamic parameters were analyzed to determine the association between bladder sensation and contractility.

resultsVUDS were normal in 2.9% (n = 56) of patients and showed DU in 23.1% (n = 443), detrusor hyperactivity and impaired contractility (DHIC) in 12.0% (n = 231), hypersensitive bladder in 17.0% (n = 325), detrusor overactivity (DO) in 2.6% (n = 49) and bladder outlet obstruction in 42.3% (n = 810). The mean age of patients in the DU and DHIC groups was significantly older than in women with normal VUDS and those with hypersensitive bladders (p<0.01). Decreased bladder sensation and larger cystometric bladder capacity were noted in the DU group compared to the DHIC, HSB, and DO groups. Bladder sensation was negatively associated with the bladder contractility. Bladder contractility index and voiding efficiency were lower in the DU and DHIC groups compared to the normal group.

conclusionsThe bladder conditions of women with voiding dysfunction included DU, DHIC, HSB and DO. Bladder contractility index and voiding efficiency were significantly lowest in DU and DHIC groups and lower in HSB and DO groups than normal tracing group. Reduced bladder sensation was noted in DU and negatively associated with detrusor contractility.
