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

The lower urinary tract has the main function of urine storage and voiding. The integrity of the lower urinary tract nerve supply is necessary for its proper function. Neurological disorders can lead to lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Common causes of neurogenic LUTS or LUTD include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cerebrovascular accidents, cauda equina syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and multiple system atrophy. The pathophysiology is categorized according to the nature of the onset of neurological disease. Assessment requires clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, imaging, and urodynamic studies. Impaired voiding is most often managed by clean intermittent self-catheterization if the postvoid residual urine exceeds 100 ml, whereas storage symptoms are most often managed by antimuscarinic medications. Intradetrusor injection of botulinum toxin type A is emerging as an effective treatment for managing refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity. This review provides an overview of the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and management of LUTD in patients with central and peripheral common neurological diseases.
