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

backgroundPregnancy and childbirth are frequently associated with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). However, the role of parous effects in OAB among nulliparous (NP) women remains controversial.

methodsThis study investigated abnormal voiding patterns and detrusor overactivity (DO) among NP women with OAB in comparison with parous women. From August 2011 to December 2018, 906 patients met the inclusion criteria for participation and were divided into three groups: 221 patients in the NP group, 571 patients in the normal spontaneous delivery (NSD) group, and 114 patients in the cesarean section (CS) group. Urodynamic study examinations were performed, and the presence of DO, abnormal voiding patterns, and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) was recorded. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, χ2 tests, and independent t tests.

resultsCompared with parous women in the NSD and CS groups, patients in the NP group had a significantly higher prevalence of abnormal voiding patterns, DO, and MUCP. Furthermore, abnormal voiding patterns were significantly associated with DO and MUCP, respectively, especially in the NP group.

conclusionWe hypothesized that hypertonicity or poor relaxation of the pelvic muscle in NP women may cause functional BOO, which is related to their OAB.
