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

backgroundPrevious research has commonly regarded overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) as distinct disorders in terms of their underlying causes, clinical diagnosis, and treatment approaches. However, there is evidence of an overlap in the occurrence of these two conditions following cerebral infarction(CI). Specifically, restless bladder syndrome (RBS), a subtype of RLS, exhibits symptoms similar to those of OAB. Consequently, further investigation is warranted to better understand the relationship between these two disorders. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present the cases of two patients who presented with both OAB following CI, along with RLS. Following administration of oral pramipexole, both nocturia and RLS exhibited prompt and efficient alleviation.

conclusionsThere may exist a shared pathological foundation between certain RLS cases and OAB. In instances where patients exhibit evident OAB symptoms following CI and concurrently experience RLS, it is advisable to prioritize the administration of dopaminergic agonists over M receptor inhibitors and β
