Home-based transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for overactive bladder syndrome: a randomized, controlled study.
Trial report in International urology and nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04470765 (Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeTranscutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TPTNS) for the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), with or without urge urinary incontinence (UUI) using electrodes imbedded in the fabric of a conventional sock and an attachable battery-operated stimulation device (ZIDA
methodsForty patients with diagnosed with OAB were recruited from a single site. There were two groups: a treatment group (21 patients, mean age 64), which used an active ZIDA
resultsThe success rate for the primary endpoint in the ZIDA group was 80% (n = 16/20) versus 39% (n = 7/18) in the SCG (p = 0.02). For QOL, the least squares mean difference in change from baseline to Week 12 between the ZIDA and sham control arms total score was - 12.7 (95% CI - 20.2 to - 5.1). No significant adverse effects were observed.
conclusionTPTNS using the ZIDA home-based stimulation device offers a safe and effective treatment for patients with OAB syndrome and improves QOL. TRIAL REGESTRATION: TRN: NCT04470765.
