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

objectiveThis retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Turkiye, it was aimed to evaluate the results of kidney and bladder ultrasonography, uroflowmetric study and volume frequency chart in children diagnosed with bedwetting at night.

methodsThis study focused on patients aged 5-17 years who were treated for nocturnal enuresis in the single-center pediatric urology clinic of a tertiary hospital between 2017-2021. Patients' comorbidities, surgical history, urinary ultrasonography findings, uroflowmetry examination results, and two-day voiding diary were requested.

resultsThe number of pediatric patients diagnosed with enuresis nocturna was 956. Abnormal ultrasonography findings were observed in 13.9% of patients. Almost half of the patients had a positive family history, and 13.4% had a history of previous surgical procedures. While the voiding diary indicated that 54.2% of patients had bladder volumes equivalent to the expected bladder capacity, uroflowmetry examination revealed low bladder capacity in 65% of patients.

conclusionThis study underscores the significance of comprehensive evaluations, including detailed ultrasonography and voiding diary measurements, in pediatric patients with monosymptomatic enuresis nocturna. Our study suggests that bladder volume measured through a two-day weekend voiding diary may provide more effective information for estimating optimal bladder capacity compared to measurements obtained through uroflowmetry.
