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

Enuresis is the inability to maintain voluntary control over urination, which is a relatively uncommon condition in adults. Therefore, there is limited research exploring the management of primary enuresis in adult patients with comorbid attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly in the Middle Eastern region. We report the case of a 28-year-old female patient who has been following up and treated for comorbid bipolar affective disorder (BAD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) for 12 years, complicated with primary enuresis. She was treated with 10 mg oral escitalopram once daily and a monthly intramuscular injection of 400 mg aripiprazole extended-release, with no reported improvement in her symptoms. Upon recent comprehensive reassessment, the patient was found to have a missed diagnosis of ADHD. Along with her current medications, she was started on 18 mg methylphenidate once daily and lamotrigine, started by 25 mg once daily, titrated to 50 mg. This adjustment led to significant improvement in her symptoms and the resolution of her enuresis. This case report demonstrates the resolution of ADHD symptoms along with the primary enuresis in an adult female patient who was treated with methylphenidate.
