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 and hypothesisThis scoping review is aimed at identifying three-dimensional ultrasound parameters associated with successful outcomes after bulking agent injection for stress urinary incontinence.

methodsA comprehensive search in Medline, Scopus, and Embase databases was conducted using combinations of the following keywords: 3D; Ultrasonography; Bulking agent. Inclusion criteria included cohort studies, observational studies, and reviews published in English from 2001 to August 2025.

resultsOut of 157 articles in the initial database, 5 studies with 202 patients were eligible for inclusion in our literature review. Circumferential distribution (or horseshoe-shaped distribution) with proximal (or proximal and at the middle level) urethral location of bulking agent seems to be associated with better clinical outcomes.

conclusionsAlthough further studies are needed, 3D ultrasound could be a useful tool in the management strategy for stress urinary incontinence using bulking agents.
