Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and related disorders.
Review in Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
purposeMultiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), and related disorders are major immune-mediated central nervous system diseases affecting the spinal cord. We reviewed the occurrence of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in these categories of diseases.
methodsWe systematically reviewed the literature regarding bladder dysfunction in MS, NMO spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and related disorders (acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, acute immune-mediated myelopathy, and meningitis-retention syndrome).
resultsThe literature, although somewhat limited for diseases other than MS, suggests that bladder dysfunction is not uncommon in these diseases, presumably reflecting lesions in the spinal descending and ascending pathways. The pattern of bladder dysfunction is a combination of overactive bladder and large post-void residuals/urinary retention. Post-void residual is measured by portable ultrasound devices.
conclusionsBecause of the complexity of bladder behavior, careful consideration of bladder management is necessary in MS, NMO, and related disorders: e.g., antimuscarinics, etc., for overactive bladder and clean, intermittent self-catheterization for urinary retention. These management practices should help improve patients' quality of life.
