Accuracy of Portable Ultrasound Measurement of the Bladder Volume Using the Manual Fanning Scan and Traditional Motorized Scan Methods.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo compare the accuracy of portable ultrasound bladder scanner (PUBS) for measuring bladder volume (BV) using manual fanning scan (MFS) and traditional motorized scan (TMS) methods.
methodsPatients with lower urinary tract symptoms who underwent a urodynamic study at the urology outpatient clinic from October to December 2024 were prospectively enrolled. BV was measured using TMS-type (TMS-BV) and MFS-type (MFS-BV) PUBS prior to free uroflowmetry. True BV (T-BV) was defined as the sum of the voided volume and the postvoid residual volume drained through the urethral catheter after voiding. TMS-BV and MFS-BV were compared and analyzed against T-BV.
resultsData from 39 patients (30 males and 9 females; mean age, 65.3±14.8 years) were analyzed. TMS-BV (230.9±157.9 mL) and MFS-BV (222.6±154.2 mL) did not differ significantly from T-BV (230.6±156.6 mL) (P>0.05). Comparison of the percentage of difference in volume between TMS-BV and MFS-BV across 100-mL BV ranges revealed no significant difference (P>0.05). The mean difference between TMS-BV and T-BV (0.2±50.2) did not differ significantly from the mean difference between MFS-BV and T-BV (-8.0±69.1) (P>0.05). The correlation between TMS-BV and T-BV (R2=0.90) was stronger than that between MFS-BV and T-BV (R2=0.81).
conclusionThe correlation between MFS-type PUBS and T-BV was lower than that between TMS-type PUBS and T-BV. However, the measurement accuracy of BV was similar using both methods.
