Quality of life and sexual function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Article in Reviews in urology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), one of the most common conditions affecting adult men, increases dramatically after the age of 50. The various symptoms of BPH, which include lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), can adversely affect quality of life (QOL). Many men with BPH and LUTS wait until symptoms become significantly bothersome before seeking medical attention. Evaluating the exact severity and significance of symptoms has been difficult with previous methodology. Over the last decade, assessment tools have become available to quantify the symptoms of BPH and LUTS. This article addresses the impact of BPH, its management, and the overall effects it has on QOL.
