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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous care intervention on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with neurogenic bladder.

methodsEighty-two patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury were included into the study. All of the patients had continuous care intervention (for 3 months), including clean intermittent self-catheterization, drinking guidance, and bladder training guidance. A health record was established for each patient before discharge and was used to record changes in the patients when followed up. Scores of QoL, which were based on the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF, occurrence of complications, and compliance of all patients were recorded.

resultsAfter 3-month care intervention, there were significantly fewer complications than before the intervention. Patients' compliance and QoL were significantly higher after 3 months of care intervention than before the intervention.

conclusionContinuous care intervention can improve patients' compliance and reduce urinary complications.
