Bladder Dysfunction in Children with Primary Vesicoureteral Reflux: Do We Need to Change Indications for Surgery?
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is commonly seen in children. However, in Indian literature, not much has been discussed about bladder dysfunction (BD) in VUR. The present study aims to study BD in children with primary VUR. Methods: In this prospective study, 86 children with primary VUR were enrolled over a 2-year duration with at least 1 year of follow-up. BD was studied using noninvasive (history, ultrasound kidney ureter bladder, and Dysfunctional Voiding Scoring System) and invasive (urodynamic study [UDS]) methods and was classified into (1) underactive bladder, (2) overactive bladder (OAB), and (3) significant postvoid residue (PVR) in those who underwent UDS. Those who underwent surgery were followed up and assessed for improvement in BD. Results: Overall incidence of BD in cases of primary VUR was 41.8% ( Conclusion: BD has a potential role in defining indications for surgery in VUR. Objective assessment of BD by UDS is accurate, but it cannot be used in nontoilet-trained children. Underactive bladders and patients with significant PVR need early surgical intervention. OABs need pharmacological intervention to increase bladder capacity and decrease the bladder pressures before surgery can be advised.
