Review in World journal of urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundThe urologic management of children with spinal cord injury (SCI) differs from that of the adult insofar as the care involves a developing organ system and will be ongoing for years. Preservation of renal function as well as prevention of urinary tract infection in concert with both bladder and bowel continence are the essential guiding principles.

methodsThis is a non-systematic review of the literature and represents expert opinion where data are non-existent. This review focuses on special considerations in children with spinal cord injuries.

resultsSCI in children is less frequent than in adults and affects mainly older children and teenagers. The etiology of SCI in children is usually motor vehicle accidents. The cervical spine is often injured. The urologic evaluation is similar to that for adults but may involve more frequent radiologic and urodynamic assessment to monitor renal function as the child grows.

conclusionsTreatment may be divided into medical vs. surgical and mirrors the approach to children who have a neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida. Bladder management should be associated with bowel management to achieve the goals of continence and social acceptability.
