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

Background: The four-hour voiding observation is an important non-invasive urodynamic test for infants and young children before toilet training. The study was performed to generate normative data for term Indian neonates. Methods: The study was a descriptive study performed in the Department of Paediatrics of a secondary care hospital in South India with patients having nationwide representation from August 2018 to August 2020. Term neonates, appropriate for gestational age on days 4-14 of life were included. Neonates at risk of oliguria or abnormal bladder functions were excluded. Four-hour voiding observation was performed by direct observation of voids, pre- and post-void diaper weight and measurement of post-void residue (PVR) by ultrasonography using two formulae within five minutes of voiding. Results: A total of 102 neonates (166 voids) were studied. Important results were (a) Eight neonates did not void; (b) median (fifth-95th percentile) of important test outcomes as follows: voided volume: 15 (7.5-33.5) ml, maximum voided volume (MVV) 16.5 (8.0-38.7) ml, PVR 3.2 (0.5-10.2) ml, PVR% 17.0 (2.9-46.4) % functional bladder capacity 19.7 (9.6-38.0) ml, and diuresis: 1.7 (0.0-5.1) ml/kg/hour; (c) four (4.3%) neonates had one interrupted void each; (d) linear regression yielded the following formulae: MVV (ml) = 8.1019 + 4.8702 ∗Diuresis (ml/kg/hr) and PVR % (max) = 14.2312 + 3.2682∗ Diuresis (ml/kg/hr). Conclusion: Normative data on the four-hour voiding observation study for Indian term exclusively breast-fed neonates are reported.
