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

objectiveThe aim of this study is to determine the impact of a motivational therapy (MT) on the outcomes for individuals diagnosed with nocturnal enuresis (NE). MATERIAL AND

methodsWe enrolled 158 patients with NE referred to the Service of Pediatrics, Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital of Rome, from January 2013 to September 2017. Of these, 21 were excluded because they didn't meet the inclusion criteria. The study was carried out in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration.

resultsA hundred and thirty seven enuretic patients [100 (72.9%) male and 37 (27.1%)] female patients with a median age of 8.8 years were included in the study. The patients were assigned to receive pharmacological therapy with desmopressin (dDAVP) (G1) (n=51), MT (G2) (n=33) and both of them (G3) (n=53). The three groups were homogeneous, with no significant differences in gender, age and family history of NE. In G1, 30/51 (58.82%) children achieved response vs. 1/33 (3.0%) children in G2 vs. 35/53 (66.04%) children in G3. About these results, The differences between G2 vs. G1 (p<0.01) and vs. G3 (p<0.01) were statistically significant while the difference between G1 vs G3 was not statistically significant (p=0.45).

conclusionOur study underlines the importance of MT in the management of NE and highlights the safety of treatment and the positive effect of MT on the compliance and the adherence to pharmacological therapy. Considering the importance of the impact of such evidence on children's lifestyle, we expect that further study with a larger sample size may confirm our hypothesis.
