Overactive bladder and men: indications for anticholinergics.
Review in Current urology reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Similar to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms are very common and increase in prevalence as men age. Whether or not OAB symptoms are thought to be secondary to BOO, the goal of treatment of symptoms should result in an improved quality of life and ultimately prevent clinical deterioration. A common dilemma when treating men with obstruction and OAB is the risk of acute urinary retention or morbidities related to increasing postvoid residuals. In this article, the relationship of OAB to BOO is examined and the role of urodynamics and data on the use of anticholinergics in men with OAB and obstruction are reviewed. An algorithm for managing men with OAB also is proposed. In men with OAB without evidence of obstruction (including OAB after treatment for BOO), first-line medical therapy with anticholinergics is indicated. However, in men with OAB and concomitant BOO, nomogram has been developed to assist in the management of patients at risk for urinary retention. Men with significant obstruction should be appropriately treated to decrease bladder outlet resistance before adding anticholinergics for the treatment of OAB.
