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

Urge urinary incontinence (UI) due to brainstem disorders is not well known. Here, we report a case of UI due to a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) in the craniocervical junction (CCJ). The cases were two men, aged 71 and 44 years, who developed the disease due to UI. Both patients developed quadriplegia within a few months, and further examination revealed dAVF of the CCJ. Treatment resolved the quadriplegia, but urinary problems persisted. Urge UI may be due to vascular disorders of the brain stem, so early diagnosis is important. If a dAVF is diagnosed, prompt surgical treatment is useful.
