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
Background and Objective: Current guidelines for patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) dysfunction suggest the use of self-intermittent catheterization with adherence to catheterization timers. Due to biorhythmic variability, unpredictable voiding times may occur. As a result, many patients abstain from extended social or work activities, turn to more secluded lifestyles, and generally experience a decrease in quality of life. Being able to know when to void is essential for patients with NB dysfunction. To solve the problem of variable void timings, wearable devices using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have been emergent and showed potential for bladder volume monitoring. Therefore, in this review, we provided a comprehensive overview of research which implemented NIRS for bladder volume monitoring, and discussed how the researchers validated their device by Methods: A literature search using PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted on February 2023. Publications involving bladder volume monitoring incorporating NIRS technique with in-vitro validation was considered for review. Key Content and Findings: Due to the novelty of NIRS being applied to bladder monitoring, there are a few possibilities to effectively validate this technique through Conclusions: By outlining a more standardized
