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

Accurate measurement of post-void residual (PVR) volumes requires accurate determination of the timing of voiding, which is challenging in non-verbal patients. As a proof of principle, we sought to test the feasibility, safety and efficacy of using an enuresis alarm to indicate voiding in ten infants. Each infant was observed for 4 h with alarm in the diaper, and diapers checked every 15-30 min to confirm voiding. The alarm activated in 31 of 33 voids (93.9%). No adverse events occurred. Further work will investigate whether this approach may improve accuracy of PVR measurement.
