Maximal detrusor pressure can be predicted using technetium-99m-mertcaptoacetyltriglycine renal scintigraphy in the early stages of spinal cord injury.

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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectiveTo investigate the potential of technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG-3) renal scintigraphy for predicting maximal detrusor pressure in the early stages of spinal cord injury (SCI).
settingTertiary rehabilitation facility.
methodsMedical records of individuals with SCI admitted between January 2020 and April 2023 who underwent both 99mTc-MAG-3 renal scintigraphy and urodynamic study within 90 days of SCI onset were retrospectively reviewed. Pearson's coefficient analysis was performed to determine the relationship between 99mTc-MAG-3 renal scintigraphy findings and urodynamic study findings. A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to determine the best predictors of maximal detrusor pressure. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for high detrusor pressure.
resultsNinety-four participants were enrolled in this study. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) and ERPF (% predicted) were significantly correlated with maximal detrusor pressure. The multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that ERPF (% predicted) was a significant predictor of maximal detrusor pressure. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ERPF (% predicted) was significantly associated with high detrusor pressure. The receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that the predictive model had an area under the curve of 0.725, with an ERPF (% predicted) cut-off of 64.05%, sensitivity 1.000, and specificity 0.429.
conclusionsThese results suggest that 99mTc-MAG-3 renal scintigraphy may be useful for predicting high detrusor pressure in early SCI and may guide the timing of urodynamic studies in individuals with early SCI for appropriate management of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
