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

aimsLower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD) are very common and, importantly, affect patients' quality of life (QoL). LUTD can range from urinary retention to urgency incontinence and includes a variety of symptoms. Nerve stimulation (NS) is an accepted widespread treatment with documented success for LUTD and is used widely. The aim of this review is to report the results of the discussion about how to improve the outcomes of NS for LUTD treatment.

methodsDuring its 2023 meeting in Bristol, the International Consultation on Incontinence Research Society discussed a literature review, and there was an expert consensus discussion focused on the emerging awareness of NS suitable for LUTD.

resultsThe consensus discussed how to improve techniques and patients' selection in NS, and high-priority research questions were identified.

conclusionsTechnique improvement, device programming, and patient selection are the goals of the current approach to NS. The conditional nerve stimulation with minimally invasive wireless systems and tailored algorithms hold promise for improving NS for LUTD, particularly for patients with neurogenic bladder who represent the new extended population to be treated.
