Monitoring of neurogenic bladder management from hospital admission until discharge in spinal cord injury units: the SIRCA study.
Observational study in Spinal cord, 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
STUDY
designProspective, descriptive, analytical, observational study involving 12 multicenter, international centers from Spain and Italy.
objectivesDetermine the method for bladder voiding in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients concerning different intrinsic and environmental variables.
introductionNeurogenic bladder is common in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, profoundly impacting their quality of life. While clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is the preferred method due to fewer complications and infections and improved quality of life, alternative methods like indwelling catheterization or condom catheters are viable options for bladder management.
methodsData was gathered along the acute (at hospital admission), subacute (expectations at discharge) and hospital discharge phases.
resultsData from 266 SCI patients was gathered. Main procedure for bladder voiding at the time of admission was indwelling catheterization (n = 242, 91.0%) and CIC was the most used procedure at discharge (n = 122, 45.9%). CIC is the preferred procedure when the evaluation of expectations at discharge is done (n = 181, 68.6%). The probability of achieving reflex voiding at discharge was higher as the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale score improved (p < 0.001). A relationship was established with the level of injury (p < 0.001) and body mass index (p = 0.017), in addition to marital status, age and history of depression. Initial information about CIC was mostly provided by the urologist (n = 137, 73.3%) while training was predominantly done by the nurse (n = 159, 87.8%).
conclusionsDifferences in neurogenic bladder management were identified regarding level and injury severity, SCIM, BMI, marital status, age and depression history. SPONSORSHIP: B Braun Medical S.A.U.
