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

Introduction: Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is defined as the involuntary passage of urine during sleep in children over the age of five. Although the precise mechanisms of NE are unclear, factors like delayed development, genetic influences, excessive nighttime urine production, disrupted sleep, and bladder dysfunction play a role. This study aims to evaluate the role of comorbidities in NE and develop a scoring system to predict treatment response, with clinical applications. Material and methods: We recruited 374 patients aged 5-18 years undergoing pharmacological treatment (single or combined) for NE. Demographic and clinical data were collected through parent interviews. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and categorical analysis using χ Results: Statistical associations were found between recurrence and learning disorders (χ Conclusions: This study emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to managing NE. The PiFe score could be a useful tool for predicting treatment outcomes and guiding interventions. Further research is needed to validate and refine the scoring system.
