Pediatric Voiding Dysfunction: Definitions and Management.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms or voiding dysfunction is significant in pediatric patients. Severe voiding dysfunction can cause serious medical issues, including impacting renal function. This review article aims to help provide an understanding of the variable presentations of voiding dysfunction and the different methods of treatment in children. The symptoms vary widely and can often be associated with constipation. Etiologies vary from behavioral/habits to anatomic to psychological or neurologic. Occasionally, imaging is used in the workup, with ultrasound being the most common. Behavior changes are often employed first in treatment before introducing pharmacotherapies or other interventions. Given the variety of presentations and severities, along with the significant number of children who present with lower urinary tract complaints, it is important for all pediatric providers to be familiar with this common diagnosis and some management options.
