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.

Abstract

ObjectiveThe study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal intervention on urodynamic outcomes, urinary incontinence severity, and pelvic floor muscle strength in individuals with overactive bladder after incomplete spinal cord injury.MethodsA single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 74 male participants diagnosed with overactive bladder and incomplete spinal cord injury. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. Treatment was conducted for 8 weeks, three sessions per week. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and the 8-week follow-up.ResultsThe experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in the measured outcomes compared with the control group (P < 0.001).ConclusionIncorporating a multimodal regimen demonstrated significant efficacy in enhancing bladder capacity, continence, and muscle function in individuals with overactive bladder due to incomplete spinal cord injury.Clinical trial registry (ID: NCT07008157).https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07008157?cond=Spinal%20Cord%20Injuries&intr=Multimodal%20Rehabilitation%20Program&viewType=Card&rank=1.
