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

AIM/

introductionPercutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation is an office-based treatment for urinary urgency with and without incontinence. However, given the need for ongoing therapy for patients with urgency incontinence, devices that allow for at-home stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve have been developed. Implantable tibial neuromodulation (iTNM) devices offer a permanent solution to in-office percutaneous stimulation. Currently, a subfascial iTNM system is approved for men and women with urinary urgency with and without incontinence. Given the recent approval of this device, the objective of this surgical video is to discuss the technique for placement of subfascial iTNM stimulator and considerations for postoperative care.

methodsThis is a surgical video of a subfascial iTNM placed in a female patient with urgency urinary incontinence. Written informed consent was obtained.

resultsAfter watching this video, surgeons will understand the components of the subfascial device system, patient selection considerations, surgical technique for placement, and postoperative care.

conclusionsThe subfascial iTNM is a permanent solution to office-based percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. It offers patients an evidence-based therapy with the flexibility of at-home stimulation sessions using an external wearable battery. This video highlights the subfascial stimulator device system and educates surgeons on its placement and perioperative management.
