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

Urgency, defined as "a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer", is not always reported by patients with overactive bladder, and is not usually described in these words. Urgency is known to have a strong negative impact on patients' quality of life and requires attention from healthcare professionals, as they play a key role in establishing the diagnosis and in deciding, together with the patient, the most appropriate treatment. This topic was debated during the symposium "Urinary Urgency: A Symptom in Need of a Cure?", held at the 11th Annual Meeting of the European Urogynaecology Association (EUGA) in October 2018 in Milan, Italy. The presentation of two clinical cases, those of a young, active woman and a retired teacher, illustrated the importance of this cornerstone symptom and demonstrated how fesoterodine may represent an important option in the management of this condition. The experts concluded that the physician should not leave urgency undeclared or untreated; that the patient should be involved in the choice of treatment; and that fesoterodine, which offers flexible dosing and has proven, consistent positive results on urgency episodes and urgency urinary incontinence, with very low/no risk of impairment of cognitive function, appears to be one of the good choices in the treatment of this symptom.
