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

aimsNeurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) describes a wide range of symptoms depending on neurologic diagnosis and the resulting bladder and sphincter dysfunction. This narrative review is designed to address the question regarding which NLUTD population benefits most from pelvic floor therapy and behavioral interventions, and how to deliver these therapies.

resultsMost NLUTD treatment guidelines encourage least-invasive, low-risk therapies like behavioral therapy (BT) and pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT)/pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT), but they are often underutilized because of a multitude of reasons. Studies show that PFMT along with electrostimulation or biofeedback to facilitate understanding of the pelvic floor activity, may offer significant improvement in urinary symptoms and quality of life in certain NLUTD populations.

conclusionsEducation, adherence support, and supervised exerciseappear to enhance outcomes. Finally, evidence suggests that telerehabilitation-based PFMT is feasible, effective and associated with higher adherence and satisfaction compared with home exercise alone.
