Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Review in Drugs & aging, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pharmacological management is the most common therapeutic approach for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists are the most commonly prescribed initial treatment. Although all of the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists produce similar improvements in symptom scores and urinary flow rates, they have different adverse effect profiles, especially with respect to the cardiovascular system. The older alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, terazosin and doxazosin, were initially approved for the treatment of hypertension and are associated with higher rates of dizziness, syncope and hypotension than the newer agents, tamsulosin and alfuzosin. The older alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists are also involved in more interactions and have a greater number of precautions concerning their usage with other cardiovascular medications. Of the newer alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, tamsulosin has a lower rate of dizziness than alfuzosin. However, both of these agents are superior to doxazosin and terazosin in that no dose escalation or titration is needed for them.
