The effect of nurse-led bladder training on urinary tract outcomes after kidney transplantation.
Article in Frontiers in nephrology, 2026. 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
Introduction: Optimal bladder function is crucial for kidney transplant success. Bladder training could help prevent dysfunction and complications, yet evidence-based guidelines for bladder training methods are limited. This study evaluates two protocols: standard hourly training versus tailored to preoperative urine output, assessing urinary tract outcomes. Methods: This pre-post study used data from the TransplantLines data and biobank on kidney transplant patients admitted in 2019 (standard bladder training) and 2022 (new protocol) to a Dutch academic hospital. Standard bladder training involved hourly urination with regular post-void residual checks, whereas the new protocol adjusted urination frequency and scan schedules based on preoperative urine output. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the following outcomes: residual urine volume > 100ml, urinary tract infection or re-catheterization within three months post-transplantation. Results: The analysis included 211 patients (70% male, mean age 55, n=100 standard protocol, n=111 new protocol). Multivariate analysis showed no differences between the protocols in the investigated outcomes. A significant interaction between protocol and age on re-catheterization was found suggesting higher re-catheterization risk in older patients under the new protocol. Discussion: The revised protocol might promote patient well-being and simultaneously improve nurse working conditions.
