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

This study aimed to evaluate lower urinary tract dysfunction after radical hysterectomy using urodynamic studies and to identify urinary biomarkers for detrusor underactivity via proteomic analysis. This prospective single-center study included women who underwent nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for cervical carcinoma. Preoperative and postoperative assessments (at 1 and 6 months) included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score, urethral pressure profiling, and pressure flow studies. Detrusor contractility was assessed using the projected isovolumetric pressure (PIP1). Proteomic analysis was performed to identify urinary biomarkers associated with postoperative detrusor underactivity. Twenty-five patients were included. The total IPSS increased significantly at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. The maximum urethral closure pressure decreased significantly at 1 month and stabilized thereafter. PIP1 and voiding efficiency decreased significantly at 1 month, but improved by 6 months. Proteomic analysis revealed significant correlations between the changes in urinary ezrin, moesin, transthyretin, and PIP1 levels. Receiver operating characteristic analysis identified the optimal cutoff values for these biomarkers in diagnosing detrusor underactivity (PIP1 < 30). It was concluded that nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy impairs detrusor contractility and urethral function. Additionally, urinary ezrin, moesin, and transthyretin levels may be valuable biomarkers for diagnosing detrusor underactivity.
