Can bladder shear wave elastography be an alternative method for detection of neurogenic bladder instead of urodynamic study?
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIn the normal physiology of the bladder wall, it has sufficient elasticity so that it can maintain normal pressure during filling phase of bladder. Bladder functional pathology can cause many problems for patients.
methodThis evaluation is a cross-sectional study conducted on patients suspected of neurogenic bladder. In this study, patient refered for urodynamic testing at first, urodynamic test performed by urologist and then Shear wave elastography was performed by radiologist. Data such as age, sex, height, and weight, and other demographic data were also evaluated. Patients were informed before and after the urodynamic and Shear wave sonography tests. Finally, the data were entered into SPSS software and were statistically analyzed.
resultsWe observed that the mean and standard deviation of the age was 15.7 ± 6.2 years. Also found that in gender 19 (63.3%) patients were males and 11 (36.7%) were female. On the other hand, in terms of BMI, most patients were normal in this regard (50%), as well as in other cases, including weight loss in 3 (10%) patients, overweight in 8 (26.6%) patients, and obese were in 4 patients (13.3%). in our assessment about the efficacy of the ultrasound elastography approach to the anterior wall, which showed that the specificity of the test in the diagnosis of neurogenic bladder was 83% and this is statistically significant in patients (
conclusionBased on the results observed in this evaluation, ultrasound elastography has a high specificity for neurogenic bladder detection in comparison with urodynamic study. Accordingly, due to the less invasive nature of this method than urodynamic study, this method can be used to identify patients with neurogenic bladder.
