Autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy reverses detrusor underactivity: open clinical trial.
Trial report in Stem cell research & therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundDetrusor underactivity is a disease that can cause chronic urinary tract infection, urinary tract infection, urinary retention and kidney failure and has no effective treatment in traditional medicine. The present research evaluated the effects of cell therapy with adipose tissue-derived stem cells on the treatment of detrusor underactivity in men.
methodsNine male patients diagnosed with a clinical and urodynamic diagnosis of detrusor underactivity were evaluated and underwent two transplants via cystourethroscopy, with 2 × 10
resultsCell therapy increased the maximum flow from 7.22 ± 1.58 to 13.56 ± 1.17, increased the mean flow from 3.44 ± 0.74 to 5.89 ± 0.45, increased the urinated volume from 183.67 ± 49.28 to 304.78 ± 40.42 and reduced the residual volume in the uroflowmetry exam from 420.00 ± 191.41 to 118.33 ± 85.51; all of these changes were significant (p < 0.05). There were also significant increases (p < 0.05) in maximum flow (from 7.78 ± 0.76 to 11.56 ± 1.67), maximum detrusor pressure (from 20.22 ± 8.29 to 41.56 ± 5.75), urinary volume (from 244 ± 27.6 to 418.89 ± 32.73) and bladder contractility index (from 44.33 ± 4.85 to 100.56 ± 8.89) in the pressure flow study. Scores on the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire decreased from 11.44 ± 1.43 to 3.78 ± 0.78 after cell therapy, which indicates an improvement in quality of life and a return to daily activities. No complications were observed in the 6-month follow-up after cell therapy. Before treatment, all patients performed approximately five intermittent clean catheterizations daily. After cell therapy, 7/9 patients (77.78%) did not need catheterizations, and the number of catheterizations for 2/9 patients (22.28%) was reduced to two catheterizations/day.
conclusionsThe results indicate that stem cell therapy led to improvements in voiding function. Cell therapy with adipose tissue-derived stem cells is safe and should be considered a new therapeutic option for the treatment of detrusor underactivity.
