Efficacy, Satisfaction, and Compliance: Insights from 15 Years of Botulinum Toxin Use for Female Urgency Urinary Incontinence.
Article in Toxins, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) refractory to medical treatment poses significant challenges despite advancements. This study evaluates the efficacy of intravesical botulinum toxin for UUI and identifies factors influencing treatment outcomes. Among 368 women receiving botulinum toxin injections, 74.5% achieved a complete discontinuation of pad usage. Predictors of efficacy included lower pre-treatment pad usage and the absence of prior sling placement. Patients often required repeat injections (60.3%), with younger age and satisfaction correlating with treatment repetition. The interval between injections averaged 18 months, influenced by logistical challenges and patient preferences. Despite concerns about diminishing efficacy, subjective perceptions did not align with objective findings. Limitations include retrospective analysis and heterogeneous clinical records. In conclusion, intravesical botulinum toxin is effective for UUI, with pre-treatment pad usage and sling placement history influencing outcomes and patient characteristics influencing treatment repetition.
