Scientometric Analysis and Mapping of Scientific Articles on Multiple Sclerosis-Related Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction.
Article in Urology research & practice, 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
objectivePatients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently experience lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction, which significantly impacts their quality of life. This study's objective was to conduct a scientometric analysis of the literature on MS-induced neurogenic LUT dysfunction.
methodsUsing bibliometric methods, we examined the literature on neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in MS patients without restricting it to prevalence studies or specific management methods. We considered contributions from authors, organizations, nations/regions, as well as the evolution of theoretical frameworks, research subtopics, and influential papers. In January 2023, we searched the complete Scopus database, without imposing any language or date constraints, identifying relevant documents related to urology clinical investigations of MS-induced NLUTD. The original articles were categorized into 4 groups: narrative reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, research of levels 1-4, and case reports/series.
resultsOn January 1, 2023, our search yielded 72 sources published between 1977 and 2022, including journals and books. The average time before publication was 11.2 years. Each document received an average of 18.1 citations, totaling 1.299 citations per year. The author's analysis explored relationships, productivity, and coauthorship networks among authors and institutions based on bibliographic records. Chartier-Kastler E, Karmonik C, and Khavari R ranked highest with 8 publications each. The University of Catania claimed the top position, followed by Houston Methodist Hospital and Paris University, recognized as the leading institutions in this field.
conclusionAn analysis of diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation of MS-related NLUTD may be helpful for future bibliometric research in the field to better direct output.
