Complications in adulthood for patients with paediatric genitourinary reconstruction.
Review in World journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCaring for adults with prior paediatric genitourinary reconstruction remains a challenge for adult providers. Reconstructions typically have occurred decades before; surgical records are not always available and patients and families may be unable to convey procedures performed. Spina bifida (SB) patients are vulnerable to cognitive decline which may compound these challenges. Changes in patient body habitus and loss of function may contribute to problems with previous reconstructions.
methodsThis is a non-systematic review of the literature and represents expert opinion where data are non-existent. This review focuses on the evaluation and management of complications arising from genitourinary reconstruction in congenital neurogenic bladder patients.
resultsCommon complications experienced by congenital neurogenic bladder patients include recurrent urinary tract infection, incontinence of catheterizable channel and urinary reservoir as well as malignancy as this population ages. Preservation of renal function and prevention of urinary tract infection while optimizing continence are essential guiding principles in the care of these patients. Many of the recommendations, however, are gleaned from available data in the adult spinal cord patient (a more commonly studied population) or the paediatric urologic literature due to limited studies in adult management of such patients.
conclusionClose follow-up and vigilance is warranted to monitor for infectious, mechanical and malignant complications while optimizing preservation of the upper urinary tracts and patient quality of life.
