Comparative Urodynamic Study in Cadaver of Urethral Pressure Profilometry Between the Artificial Urinary Sphincter UroActive and the AMS800.

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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectiveThe artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is currently the gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence in men, and it's also a treatment option for women in Europe. UroActive is a new electronic device that offers remotely adjustable settings, including device pressure. This study aims to compare the range of Maximal Urethral Closure Pressures (MUCPs) covered by UroActive with those covered by the current AMS800 in male and female cadavers.
methodsSix cadavers (3 males and 3 females) were implanted with an occlusive cuff (OC) positioned around the bulbar urethra in men and around the bladder neck in women. A MUCP measurement was performed for each of the 3 different AMS800 Pressure-Regulating Balloons (PRBs): 51-60, 61-70, and 71-80 cmH
resultsUroActive device remained fully functional (wireless communication, calibration) throughout the study period. UroActive CU achieved MUCPs values that encompassed the entire range observed with the 3 different AMS800 PRBs. A strong positive correlation between set device pressures sent to UroActive CU and MUCPs was noted in both males (r
conclusionThe findings suggest that UroActive provides a wide adjustable range of urethral closure pressures, potentially offering an alternative to AMS800 for managing stress urinary incontinence in both men and women. Further clinical studies are necessary to confirm its safety and effectiveness in patients.
