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

backgroundNocturnal enuresis (NE) is a common condition in childhood that can adversely affect children's physical and psychological health. Since the publication of the "Expert Consensus on the Management of Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis in Chinese Children" in 2014, substantial clinical experience has been accumulated and international guidelines have been updated, necessitating a revision to standardize and improve clinical management.

methodsThis consensus was developed by the Chinese Cooperative Group for the Management of Pediatric Nocturnal Enuresis, the Pediatric Nephrology Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association using the Delphi method. A core writing group of nine experts drafted statements based on a synthesis of current evidence. These were subjected to iterative voting by 42 multidisciplinary panelists to achieve consensus, defined as ≥ 90% agreement.

resultsThe consensus provides 18 key recommendations. It updates the diagnostic criteria for children aged ≥ 5 years with at least one involuntary void per month for three months. It emphasizes classification into monosymptomatic (MNE) or nonmonosymptomatic (NMNE) NE based on daytime lower urinary tract symptoms. Recommendations cover comprehensive evaluation (history, physical exam, voiding diary), basic management (education, lifestyle), and first-line treatment (desmopressin for nocturnal polyuria, alarm therapy for reduced bladder capacity). Strategies for treatment-resistant cases, management of NMNE (prioritizing daytime symptoms), and the role of primary care and traditional Chinese medicine are outlined.

conclusionsThis expert consensus provides an updated, evidence-based, and practical framework for the diagnosis and management of childhood NE. It aims to harmonize clinical practice, promote individualized care, and improve patient outcomes through standardized recommendations.
