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

purpose of reviewThe goal of this paper is to describe the pathophysiology of adult nocturnal enuresis and develop a generalized approach for evaluation and treatment. RECENT

findingsAlthough nocturnal enuresis (NE) impacts a significant proportion of the adult population, research on this topic remains lacking. In the few existing studies, the management strategy is extrapolated from research on pediatric nocturnal enuresis. Furthermore, treatment approaches highlight the importance of identifying risk factors and contributing pathologies. The modern urologist should understand the complexity of this problem and the variety of techniques to evaluate and treat the adult patient with NE. Adult nocturnal enuresis is multifactorial and may have multiple underlying pathologies. A comprehensive workup requires an understanding of the patient's history and symptomatology and the pathophysiologic processes that can occur. Treatment should first target identifiable etiologies, although a generalized algorithm can then be utilized with behavioral and lifestyle modifications, followed by medical therapy. Future studies will provide a better framework for treating this problem.
