Non-invasive assessment of urinary bladder compliance using ultrasound: first validation study based on clinical urodynamic study.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThis study aims to validate a recently introduced non-invasive method, ultrasound bladder vibrometry (UBV), for the assessment of detrusor compliance in patients with neurogenic bladders.
methodsThe study was carried out on 79 adult patients with neurogenic bladders (60 male and 19 female). The UBV test was performed on each patient to measure the Lamb wave group velocity (
resultsThe Patients' bladders were divided into non-compliant and compliant groups by an experienced urologist using the information in the urodynamic study (UDS) recordings. The compliance index defined on the basis of
conclusionsThe results of this study demonstrate that UBV can be used as a non-invasive method for the determination of bladder compliance; thus, it can potentially serve as an alternative method to UDS for the appropriate patient groups.
