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

As an orphan disease interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a frequently underdiagnosed and inadequately treated disease of the urinary bladder, often after years of symptoms. Caused by an unknown etiology, a high variability of symptoms, a lack of biomarkers and a gradual onset, IC/BPS is a diagnosis by exclusion and poses a special challenge to doctors and patients. In addition to conventional and complementary medical treatment, oral medication, intravesical and transurethral procedures are available as treatment options. Due to the invasiveness or irreversibility, however, interventional surgical procedures should only be used after careful consideration or as a last resort. In order to find a suitable individualized treatment, a classification of the patients according to the severity and type of symptoms can be advantageous.
