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

Introduction: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infection can cause HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis, characterized by spastic paralysis of both lower limbs. More than 90% of HAM/TSP patients show lower urinary tract symptoms and dysfunction. Case presentation: A 27-year-old woman diagnosed with HAM/TSP presented with overactive bladder. A urodynamic study revealed detrusor overactivity. OAB remained despite improvements in spastic paralysis of the lower limbs after starting prednisolone. The addition of solifenacin likewise failed to improve OAB or DO in this patient. Switching from solifenacin to vibegron improved OAB symptoms. Conclusion: In patients for whom OAB and DO do not improve with steroid treatment and solifenacin, treatment with vibegron may improve OAB symptoms.
