Perioperative Techniques for the Use of Botulinum Toxin in Overactive Bladder: Results of a Multinational Online Survey of Urogynecologists in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06250543 (Evaluation of Intradetrusor AbobotulinumtoxinA and IncobotulinumtoxinA Efficacy and Safety in Women With Overactive Bladder and Urge Urinary Incontinence and the Value of Local Anesthesia for Pain Reduction), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisBotulinum toxin (BoNT) is a widely used treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). Despite its common use, no standardized treatment regimen exists so far. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the variation in perioperative treatment strategies among members of the German-speaking urogynecologic societies. MATERIALS AND
methodsA clinical practice online survey was carried out between May 2021 and May 2022, and all members of the German, Swiss, and Austrian urogynecologic societies were invited to participate. Participants were grouped in two ways. First, they were grouped into (1) urogynecologists with board certification and (2) non-board-certified general obstetricians and gynecologists (OBGYNs). Second, we set a cut-off at 20 transurethral BoNT procedures per year to differentiate between (1) high- and (2) low-volume surgeons.
resultsOne hundred and six completed questionnaires were received. Our results demonstrated that BoNT is mostly used as a third-line treatment (93%,
conclusionsOur survey confirmed that BoNT is widely used by urogynecologists in the three German-speaking countries, but practice patterns vary widely, and no standardized method could be detected, despite interviewing urogynecologic experts. These results clearly demonstrate that there is a need for studies to define standardized treatment strategies for the best perioperative and surgical approach regarding the use of BoNT in patients with OAB.
