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
contextNeurogenic bladder is one of the major complications of spinal cord injury (SCI). Due to inadequate, ill-timed intervention, it can be lethal and lead to chronic case of renal calculus, renal failure or recurrent urinary tract infections. Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a patterned, non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation procedure that can improve the functional status of patients with SCI by manipulating cortico-spinal plasticity. Trans spinal magnetic stimulation has shown transient improvement in establishing voluntary urination and specific bladder parameters in patients with incomplete SCI (iSCI). The present case report evaluates the effect of motor cortical iTBS combined with a customized exercise regime on neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms in a patient with incomplete dorsal spinal cord injury.
findingsThis is a case of a patient with iSCI who sustaining a stabbing injury. Initial neurological assessment indicated a D5/6 hemi transection. Surgical intervention was followed by cortical iTBS administration for 2 weeks, adjunct to comprehensive rehabilitation for 6 weeks. Urodynamics studies were evaluated for bladder function and neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS). We found an improvement in bladder parameters (capacity, compliance, postvoid residual volume, detrusor pressure and bladder indices) linear to the NBSS score, indicating a reduction in neurogenic symptoms. CONCLUSION/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: iTBS combined with bladder rehabilitation, can be a promising, effective treatment strategy in improving bladder dyssynergia and lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with incomplete SCI.Trial registration: Clinical Trials Registry India identifier: CTRI/2023/08/056.
