Adhering to Clinical Advice: The Level of Alignment of Care Processes With Global Bladder Guidelines in Veterans With Spinal Cord Injuries or Diseases.
Article in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundGuidelines contain recommendations for monitoring and care of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in patients with spinal cord injury/disorder. Evidence on the level of adherence to these recommendations is limited.
objectivesTo assess treads in proportion of patients with spinal cord injury/disorder receiving commonly recommended processes of care for NLUTD.
methodsThe cohort consisted of 49 326 veterans with supra-sacral spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D) within the Veterans Affairs (V.A.) healthcare system first seen from fiscal year 1999-2024. Measures included laboratories, imaging, bladder-care procedures, and whether the veteran was seen by a urologist and had cystometrography (CMG).
resultsThe analysis reveals the use of recommended NLUTD monitoring processes, with 41% undergoing renal imaging, 48% having a urology encounter, and 31% receiving cystometrography. A longitudinal view shows a decline in these rates over time. However, CMG rates exhibited some increase in veterans entering the system between 2005 and 2014, indicating a slight improvement in adherence over time.
conclusionsThe study highlights gaps between current practices and recommended processes for NLUTD, which may compromise outcomes for veterans with supra-sacral SCI/D. Further research is necessary to explore the barriers to executing suggested processes and implications for outcomes of this vulnerable population.
