Psychological and Behavioral Contributors to Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: Trauma, Stress, and Neurobiological Pathways.
Review in Current bladder dysfunction reports, 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
Purpose of Review: Chronic pelvic pain and lower urinary tract dysfunction are associated with a high prevalence of depression, anxiety, trauma history, and stress-related disorders, with worsening of symptoms in these groups. This review characterizes the mechanisms behind these associations and the benefits of intervention. Recent Findings: Trauma, stress, and neurobiological pathways interact as psychological and behavioral contributors to lower urinary tract symptoms and pelvic pain. The immune system and the neuraxis share pathways in chronic pain as it relates to stress regulation in urologic populations, with implications for symptom presentation. Trauma, including early life adverse experiences and later diverse stressors, can potentiate these pathways. Summary: Co-occurrence of psychological factors with incontinence, retention, urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, and bladder pain is common and clinically relevant to the urologist. Psychological interventions have been demonstrated to improve both quality of life and the symptoms themselves in concert with standard organ-based treatment approaches.
