An innovative diagnostic procedure in children: videourodynamics with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Contemporary videourodynamic (VUD) investigation combines voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) and urodynamics into one study, which allows simultaneous visualization of the urinary tract by ionizing radiation alongside the measurement of sensation, capacity, compliance, and detrusor pressure during bladder filling and voiding using one double lumen catheter. Today VUD is a benchmark for evaluating the lower urinary tract disorders in children because it evaluates urinary bladder and sphincter function and visualizes bladder morphology and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) presence at the same time. Several previous studies of fluoroscopic videourodynamics issued concerns regarding radiation exposure. This technical report aims to describe a new modality of VUD in children by replacing fluoroscopic VCUG with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ceVUS). ceVUS using second-generation contrast media and harmonic imaging is a radiation-free and highly sensitive imaging modality used to detect VUR in children. We simultaneously performed an infusion of ultrasound contrast through the double lumen urodynamic catheter during urodynamic evaluation. This article describes the advantages of this method compared with a conventional technique. In addition to being radiation-free, this procedure of advanced videourodynamics method can better detect vesicoureteral reflux and intrarenal reflux combined with urodynamic disorders associated with VUR.
