The Role of Urodynamic Studies in Female Patients with Non-Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Urology research & practice, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic role of urodynamic studies (UDS) in female lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and its correlation with clinical symptoms.
methodsA retrospective study design was followed, and 89 female patients were included (2020-2025). SPSS was used for descriptive and multivariate analyses of the association between obstetric history and pelvic surgeries with UDS findings.
resultsForty-three (48.3%), 18 (20.2%), and 8 (9%) had no comorbidities, hypertension (HTN), and diabetes mellitus, respectively. Sixteen (18%) had urological problems, 54 (60.7%) were grand multiparous, and 20 (22.5%) had cesarean section (C-section). The mean volumes at first sensation, first desire to void, and strong desire to void were 111.83 ± 48.43 mL, 184.36 ± 70.73 mL, and 289.24 ± 93.60 mL, respectively. Urodynamic study findings for the mean maximum cystometric capacity were 370.46 ± 102.20 mL, maximum flow rate of 41.42 ± 47.04 mL/sec, post-void residual volume of 137.25 ± 144.0 mL, voided volume of 378.86 ± 164.87 mL, Valsalva leak point pressure of 7.43 ± 44.73 cm/H2O, and detrusor pressure at capacity was 10.86 ± 18.97 cm/H2O. Most patients had normal bladder compliance; 2 (2.2%) reported reduced compliance. Urethral assessment indicated that only 4 (4.5%) had obstructive urethra, stress incontinence, and 4 (4.5%) correlated with UDS and clinical symptoms (P < .05). A non-significant association was found between storage, voiding symptoms with UDS outcomes, except for hesitancy (P = .01) and straining (P = .04). Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated no significant correlation of obstetric history and pelvic surgeries with UDS.
conclusionUrodynamic studies may be helpful in providing objective functional assessment in selected or complex cases. However, in the population, UDS did not consistently confirm these cases.
