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

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of programmed bladder cycling (PBC) prior to transplantation in patients with defunctionalized bladders (DB). Methods: This prospective cohort study included RT candidates with DB. Eligible patients underwent pre-transplant PBC, and urodynamic parameters were assessed before and after the intervention. The primary outcome was the improvement in bladder capacity. Secondary outcomes included voiding parameters, and perioperative urological complications. Results: 23 patients underwent PBC for a maximum of 6 months duration. Of these, 20 (86%) patients achieved the targeted bladder capacity of ≥ 250 ml. Median bladder capacity significantly increased from 147.5 mL (IQR 128.8-155) pre-PBC to 265 mL (IQR 253.8-286.3) post-PBC ( Conclusion: PBC is a simple and effective outpatient intervention that significantly improves bladder capacity and compliance in patients with DB and probably decreases complications that may occur during and after renal transplantation.
