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

purposeThis study determines the prevalence and clinical presentation of detrusor underactivity (DU) and its urodynamic characteristics in adult patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study has reviewed the symptoms and urodynamic study (UDS) findings of 283 patients with LUTS. Chi-square analysis was used to present the prevalence of UDS characteristics in both sexes.

resultsOut of records of 206 patients included in this study, fifty-one (24.76%) patients were diagnosed with DU based on bladder contractility index. Storage lower urinary tract symptoms were the most prevalent characteristic presentation in both sexes as compared to the difficulty in voiding, recurrent urine retention, and urinary incontinence. Bladder outlet, sphincter EMG findings, and degree of DU were significantly correlated with gender.

conclusionDU is a prevalent and sophisticated bladder pathology rather than a simple one. It requires more attention from the urologists, and evaluations, including UDS, to differentiate it from other pathologies.
