Efficacy of desmopressin and enuresis alarm in the treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis: a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study.
Trial report in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTo compare the therapeutic effect of desmopressin (DDAVP) and enuresis alarm (EA) in treating primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) and identified prognostic factors.
methodsA total of 213 children (6-16 years) with MNE were randomized to the DDAVP or EA group at five hospitals in mainland China from January 2019 to December 2023. Comprehensive medical histories were collected, and voiding diaries were maintained for two consecutive weeks. All participants underwent 12-week follow-up evaluations, with therapeutic outcomes assessed at the endpoint. Children achieving complete response were monitored for relapse for an additional 3 months post-treatment.
resultsAfter excluding 28 patients (16 lost to follow-up, 12 incomplete diaries), 185 completed the study (63.24% male, mean age 10.25 ± 2.36 years). The loss to follow-up rate in the EA group was higher than in the DDAVP group (11.71% vs. 2.94%, P < 0.05). Ninety-four children were treated with EA and 91 children with DDAVP. After 12 weeks, there was no significant difference in the therapeutic effect between the DDAVP and EA group (P > 0.05). Relapses occurred in 1/30 children in the EA group and 6/30 children in the DDAVP group (P < 0.05). Family history (OR = 2.37, 95%CI: 1.16-4.84), enuresis frequency > 4 times/week (OR = 2.30, 95%CI: 1.08-4.89), and reduced bladder capacity (OR = 2.29, 95%CI: 1.12-4.66) were negative prognostic factors.
conclusionBoth therapies showed comparable short-term efficacy, but EA exhibited superior durability with lower relapse. Family history, severity of enuresis, and reduced bladder capacity are negative prognostic factors for therapeutic effect.
