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

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nocturnal enuresis (NE) on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in children with a special emphasis on the domains of HRQoL. Methods: This was a case-control study in which consecutive children with NE were recruited along with their parents. Age and sex-matched children without enuresis served as controls. Age-appropriate children and proxy versions of the German Quality of Life Questionnaire (KINDL) were used to evaluate HRQoL and its domains. The clinicodemographic characteristics and family data were collected. HRQoL and the domain scores were compared between the patients and the control subjects. Results: 100 children (50 of whom are males) with enuresis along with their parents were included in the study. 100 children served as the control group. The mean age of the patients was 9.58±2.77 years, and was no different from that of the control group. 55% of the children were receiving treatment for NE. The most common treatment was the nighttime waking (40%). The most commonly used drug was desmopressin. The median score of the health-related quality of life was 78.8 [69.2-83.3] in children with NE versus 90 [86.7-91.7] in the control group (p<0.001). In all domains, the median scores were significantly lower in children with NE compared with the controls. Conclusion: Turkish children with NE had a significantly lower HRQoL score compared with children without NE. All the domain scores were also significantly lower in children with NE compared with the control subjects.
