First in Human Subjects Testing of the UroMonitor: A Catheter-free Wireless Ambulatory Bladder Pressure Monitor.

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
purposeUrodynamics is the standard method of diagnosing bladder dysfunction, but involves catheters and retrograde bladder filling. With these artificial conditions, urodynamics cannot always reproduce patient complaints. We have developed a wireless, catheter-free intravesical pressure sensor, the UroMonitor, which enables catheter-free telemetric ambulatory bladder monitoring. The purpose of this study was twofold: to evaluate accuracy of UroMonitor pressure data, and assess safety and feasibility of use in humans. MATERIALS AND
methodsEleven adult female patients undergoing urodynamics for overactive bladder symptoms were enrolled. After baseline urodynamics, the UroMonitor was transurethrally inserted into the bladder and position was confirmed cystoscopically. A second urodynamics was then performed with the UroMonitor simultaneously transmitting bladder pressure. Following removal of urodynamics catheters, the UroMonitor transmitted bladder pressure during ambulation and voiding in private. Visual analogue pain scales (0-5) were used to assess patient discomfort.
resultsThe UroMonitor did not significantly alter capacity, sensation, or flow during urodynamics. The UroMonitor was also easily inserted and removed in all subjects. The UroMonitor reproduced bladder pressure, capturing 98% (85/87) of voiding and nonvoiding urodynamic events. All subjects voided with only the UroMonitor in place with low post-void residual volume. Median ambulatory pain score with the UroMonitor was rated 0 (0-2). There were no post-procedural infections or changes to voiding behavior.
conclusionsThe UroMonitor is the first device to enable catheter-free telemetric ambulatory bladder pressure monitoring in humans. The UroMonitor appears safe and well tolerated, does not impede lower urinary tract function, and can reliably identify bladder events compared to urodynamics.
