Relation between Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction and Functional Outcome in Patients After Brain Tumor Resection.
Article in Brain & NeuroRehabilitation, 2023. 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
This study aimed to compare functional outcomes after rehabilitation with initial degree of urinary retention (UR) in patients operated on for brain tumors. Medical records of 61 patients transferred to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of single center, from January 2011 to December 2021, were reviewed retrospectively. Patient data included post-void residual (PVR) urine, tumor characteristics, and functional status. Functional status was evaluated on the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Motricity Index (MI)-lower limb, and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). MMSE, FAC, mRS, and MI-lower limb were re-evaluated 3 weeks after standard inpatient rehabilitation. Twenty-four patients were in the UR group and 37 in the non-UR group. Initial MMSE, MBI, BBS, FAC, and mRS were significantly worse in the UR group, and both groups showed significant functional improvement after rehabilitation. After rehabilitation, MMSE, FAC, MRS, MI-lower were still worse in the UR group, but the degree of improvement between the groups was not significantly different. Rehabilitation was shown to be effective for brain tumor patients regardless of UR. Initial UR after brain tumor surgery is significantly associated with poor functional status in both the early stages of rehabilitation and after rehabilitation.
