Long-Term Follow-Up of Lower Urinary Tract Outcome in Children with Dysfunctional Voiding.

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
Objective: To investigate the long-term clinical and urodynamic outcomes of a small cohort of children who received short-term urotherapy for confirmed dysfunctional voiding (DV) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Materials and Methods: This study included 26 children with confirmed LUTS and DV via video urodynamic study (VUDS) and received standard urological therapy, pelvic floor muscle training, or surgical intervention in childhood. Their current lower urinary tract conditions were assessed by chart review and direct and telephone interviews. Charts of 14 patients who underwent follow-up VUDS were reviewed to investigate their bladder and voiding dysfunction or follow-up on previous treatment results. The satisfaction of lower urinary tract status was assessed using the global response assessment (GRA) scale. Results: At initial enrolment, the mean age was 9.54 ± 3.88 years, and urological treatment was performed during the first 1−5 years thereafter. Most patients were not regularly followed in the urology clinic. Among the 14 children available for follow-up, a GRA score of 3 was reported by 10 (71.4%) after a mean follow-up period of 10.3 ± 6.74 (range, 2−20) years, indicating satisfactory bladder and voiding conditions. Four children with less favorable outcomes (GRA score of <3) had significantly more post-void residual urine volume at baseline, and 75% of these patients had central nervous system diseases. Daytime incontinence and enuresis rates were significantly decreased at follow-up compared with the baseline. Significantly increased bladder capacity and sensation and significantly decreased voiding detrusor pressure were found on follow-up VUDS. Conclusions: Children with DV who received standard urotherapy upon diagnosis exhibited improved LUTS at a 10-year follow-up. Of the 14 children available for follow-up, 10 (71.4%) reported satisfactory bladder and voiding status without further medication or urotherapy, with significantly decreased voiding detrusor pressure.
