Cerebellum and micturition: what do we know? A systematic review.
Review in Cerebellum & ataxias, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsMicturition depends on a complex voluntary and involuntarily neuronal network located at various levels of the nervous system. The mechanism is highly dependent on the hierarchical organization of central nervous system pathways. If the role of the cortex and brainstem centres is well established, the role of other subcortical areas structures, such as the cerebellum is poorly understood. We are interested in discussing the current knowledge on the role of cerebellum in micturition.
methodsA systematic search is performed in the medical literature, using the PubMed database with the keyword « cerebellum ». The latter is combined with «urination » OR « micturition » OR « urinary bladder ».
resultsThirty-one articles were selected, focussing on micturition and describing the role of the cerebellum. They were grouped in 6 animal experimental studies, 20 functional brain imaging in micturition and 5 clinical studies.
conclusionsAlthough very heterogeneous, experimental and clinical data clearly indicate the cerebellum role in the micturition control. Cerebellum modulates the micturition reflex and participates to the bladder sensory-motor information processing. The cerebellum is involved in the reflex micturition modulation through direct or indirect pathways to major brainstem or forebrain centres.
