Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction in the First Year After Spinal Cord Injury: A Descriptive Study of Urodynamic Findings.
Article in The Journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeWe aimed to provide a real-world description of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction within the first year after spinal cord injury with a focus on unfavorable urodynamic parameters that are associated with urological morbidity. MATERIALS AND
methodsUrodynamic investigations from 97 patients with traumatic or ischemic acute spinal cord injury and managed according to the European Association of Urology Guidelines on Neuro-Urology were analyzed at a single university spinal cord injury center at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after injury. Unfavorable urodynamic parameters were defined as detrusor overactivity in combination with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, maximum storage detrusor pressure of 40 cm H
resultsOne or more unfavorable urodynamic parameter was observed in 87 out of 97 patients (90%) within the first year after spinal cord injury. Eighty-eight percent of the patients showed detrusor overactivity with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, 39% a maximum storage detrusor pressure of 40 cm H
conclusionsUsing a standardized urodynamic follow-up schedule, we found unfavorable urodynamic parameters in a majority of the population within the first year after spinal cord injury. As early treatment based on urodynamic findings might reduce the risk of deterioration of upper and lower urinary tract function, thereby improving long-term outcomes, there is need for further research regarding recommendations for a urodynamic follow-up schedule during the first year after spinal cord injury.
