Detailed Investigation of Bladder Diary Parameters During Sacral Neuromodulation in Patients With Overactive Symptoms.
Article in Neuromodulation : journal of the International Neuromodulation Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsSacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a well-accepted, minimally invasive modality for patients with overactive bladder (OAB). Successful response to SNM is defined as at least 50% improvement in key symptoms, evaluated in a bladder diary (BD). BDs provide much useful information on bladder behavior during daily life. The aim of this study is to investigate BD parameter changes during SNM therapy in patients with OAB. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires (ICIQ)-BD was filled out by 34 patients with OAB, for three days at baseline and after three weeks of subthreshold sensory stimulation. The patients were considered responders for SNM when 50% improvement was seen in the BD. They underwent implantation of an internal pulse generator (IPG), and subsequently, an ICIQ-BD and a visual analog scale (VAS) evaluating bladder satisfaction during three days were filled out six weeks, six months, and one year after IPG implantation.
resultsIPGs were implanted in 29 patients (85%). The BD showed a significant decrease in 24-hour leakage at three weeks from 4.2 to 0.6 (-86%, p < 0.001), similar significant decreases at six weeks and six months, and at one year (-80%). Voided volume (VV) at corresponding bladder sensation codes was not different between baseline and at three weeks of tined-lead procedure (TLP) (p > 0.05), and at six weeks (p > 0.05), six months (p > 0.1), and one year of IPG (p > 0.08). After three weeks of TLP, urgency episodes decreased from 4.8 to 3.4 (-30%, p = 0.025), with 59% reduction at six-weeks IPG (p < 0.001) and 49% at six-months IPG (p = 0.013). At one year, a decrease from 4.7 to 2.3 (52% reduction, p = 0.017) was noted. VAS showed the strongest correlation with urgency (p < 0.001) and frequency (p = 0.006). No significant correlation was found with VV (p = 0.87).
conclusionsOur study describes how bladder sensation parameters change over time in patients on SNM. VV does not significantly increase, nor does frequency significantly decrease over the first year. Leaks and the percentage of urgency episodes significantly decrease, reaching a plateau level between six-weeks and six-months SNM.
