Is Sacral Neuromodulation a Treatment Option for Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction?
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Here, we present the first reported case that used sacral neuromodulation as a treatment option for bladder neck obstruction in a 48-year-old man who presented with a long-standing history of lower urinary tract symptoms such as storage and voiding symptoms unresponsive to conservative and medical treatments, including chemodenervation. The patient was diagnosed with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) using a urodynamic study, voiding cystourethrography, and cystoscopy. Sacral neuromodulation was used because the patient refused bladder neck incision because of the risk of retrograde ejaculation. The patient reported significant improvement in symptoms with no obstructive pattern on follow-up uroflowmetry after six months. The use of alpha-blockers, bladder neck incision, and Botox injection into the bladder neck to treat PBNO has been reported. The successful use of sacral neuromodulation to treat PBNO has not been reported before.
