1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of single and repeat transurethral bladder neck incision (TUI-BN) for female voiding dysfunction caused by bladder outlet obstruction (BNO). Further, the predictive factors associated with better treatment outcomes were identified.

methodsWomen with voiding difficulty due to BNO who underwent TUI-BN were included in this research. All patients underwent videourodynamics study at baseline and after TUI-BN. Successful outcome was defined as a voiding efficiency of ≥ 66.7% and a global response assessment score of ≥ 2 after treatment. Repeat TUI-BN was considered for patients with insufficient improvement. The outcomes of repeat surgery, surgical complications, and predictive factors of successful outcomes were evaluated.

resultsIn total 158 cases, the success rates were 61.4% and 45.2% after the first and second TUI-BN, respectively, with an overall cumulative rate of 70.3%. The success rates were comparable between patients with detrusor underactivity (DU) and those without (54.9% vs. 68.4%). The absence of a previous history of suburethral sling and a high baseline corrected maximum flow rate were a significant predictor of favorable outcomes. The cumulative rate of regaining self-voiding function was 95.1%. The incidence rates of vesico-vaginal fistula and de novo stress urinary incontinence requiring surgery were 1.2% and 2.5%, respectively.

conclusionsRegardless of the presence of DU, TUI-BN is effective against female voiding dysfunction caused by BNO. Repeat procedures are beneficial and can improve self-voiding function. A high corrected maximum flow rate and the absence of a previous history of suburethral sling can contribute to greater success rates.
