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 and hypothesisWe aimed to evaluate the clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) rate in women undergoing their first OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) treatment and to investigate factors predictive of initiating CIC.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort of women, who had their first BTX-A treatment for symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, with a pretreatment urodynamic study (UDS). We reviewed demographic, medical and gynecological history, UDS, pretreatment bladder diaries, objective examinations, BTX-A treatment details, and post-void residual (PVR) reports in the electronic medical record. Botox® Allergan 100 International Units were injected into the detrusor at 10-20 sites. Statistical analyses included univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

resultsWe included 397 women. Median age was 68 (Q1-Q3: 54-76) years. CIC rate was 8.6% (n = 34) following the first BTX-A treatment. Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) reduced the risk of undergoing CIC (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.09-0.97). A bladder capacity of 500 ml or greater in the bladder diary increased the risk of CIC (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.06-5.70), whereas reported leakages were associated with a decreased risk of CIC (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.10-0.57). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that anterior colporrhaphy (OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.52-9.06) and 10-ml increments in median maximum cystometric capacity (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.00-1.06) predicted CIC, whereas UUI was a protective factor for CIC (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.07-0.79).

conclusionsA history of anterior colporrhaphy, large bladder capacity, and absence of incontinence episodes in bladder diary or UDS were risk factors for CIC after the first BTX-A treatment.
