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: Pediatric neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is commonly managed with anticholinergic agents and clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). However, treatment options are limited for patients who remain resistant to conventional therapy, particularly following spinal cord surgery. Case Presentation: A 14-year-old boy with myelomeningocele underwent vertebral resection and spinal cord amputation. Despite CIC and solifenacin, he continued to experience daily urinary incontinence. 1 year postoperatively, his symptoms worsened and urinalysis became abnormal. Video-urodynamic study showed reduced bladder compliance and progression of bladder deformity. Vibegron 50 mg once daily was initiated. At 12 weeks, bladder capacity increased and compliance improved. Over 24 months, no urinary tract infections, incontinence episodes, or drug-related adverse events occurred. Conclusion: This case suggests that vibegron may be an effective, well-tolerated add-on therapy for pediatric patients with anticholinergic-resistant NLUTD after spinal cord surgery, improving bladder function and morphology while helping maintain quality of life.
