Lumbopelvic stabilization-based physiotherapy and rehabilitation and urotherapy for lower urinary tract dysfunction in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Jornal de pediatria. 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
objectiveThis randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of supervised lumbopelvic stabilization and urotherapy on factors associated with lower urinary tract symptoms in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD).
methodThe study included 32 children aged 5-12 years, who were ambulatory and had a Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptom Scale (DVISS) of 8.5 or higher. Lower urinary tract symptoms were assessed using the DVISS, a three-day bladder diary, and a nocturnal enuresis diary. Bowel symptoms were assessed with a seven-day bowel diary. Moreover, physical performance tests, the strength of pelvis-related muscle groups, and participation in activities of daily living were evaluated using validated measurement tools. Participants were randomized into two groups: the active control group (n:16, weight:25.81±9.53 kg, height:121.25±18.22 cm) received only urotherapy, while the treatment group (n:16, weight:25.88±9.67 kg, height: 122.69±16.63 cm) additionally performed lumbopelvic stabilization-based exercises for eight weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
resultsUrotherapy significantly reduced LUTD severity (p < 0.001), enuresis frequency (p = 0.014), and the number of symptoms associated with LUTD (p = 0.001). However, adding lumbopelvic stabilization exercises conferred no superiority over urotherapy alone (p > 0.05). Supervised lumbopelvic stabilization improved functional mobility (p < 0.003), muscle strength (p < 0.05), and participation in activities of daily living (p < 0.049). However, neither urotherapy nor lumbopelvic stabilization training had a significant effect on Gower's time or daytime voiding frequency (p > 0.05).
conclusionBoth interventions were effective in improving bladder and bowel outcomes in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and LUTD, with no superiority observed on lower urinary tract symptoms.
