Voiding dysfunction in children causes, management, and prognosis: A single-center retrospective study.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo review voiding dysfunction caused by 3 different etiologies; dysfunction voiding syndrome (DVS), neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal dysraphisim (NB), and valve bladder syndrome (VBS).
methodsA single-center retrospective study on children with voiding dysfunction followed up at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 2005 to 2017.
resultsOne hundred and ninety-nine children (67.3% boys) were included: Group 1 (n=75, DVS), Group 2 (n=64, NB), and Group 3 (n=60, VBS). Further classification according to the age at presentation; infants (46%), toddlers (27%) and school aged (28%). Management categories: 31% children needed observation only, 25% needed clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), 13% needed only surgery and 31% needed both surgery and CIC. Associated comorbidities: hydronephrosis (81%), vesicoureteral reflux (47%), pyelonephritis (37%) and renal scar (60%), all have negative impact on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Urodynamic studies revealed poor bladder compliance in 57.6% and atonic bladder in 1.1%, progression to chronic kidney disease (22%), commenced on renal replacement therapy 11.5% and 4% died with ESKD. Overall improvement in the last eGFR is observed (
conclusionEarly diagnosis and management of childhood voiding dysfunction was associated with better prognosis. Children managed conservatively have better preservation of kidney function than those who needed surgery.
