Trial report in International journal of clinical practice, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00224146 (Multicenter Assessment of Transdermal Therapy in Overactive Bladder With Oxybutynin TDS), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

aimsOveractive bladder (OAB) is common in men and may exist concomitantly with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and obstruction. We present a subanalysis of results from men with OAB in a 6-month, open-label study of treatment with the oxybutynin transdermal system (OXY-TDS). Broad entry criteria were incorporated to yield a clinically representative population.

methodsAll participants received OXY-TDS 3.9 mg/day. Effectiveness was assessed by changes in scores on validated questionnaires, which included the single-item Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC), the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).

resultsThe proportion of men (n=369; mean age=69.6 years) who reported that their bladder condition caused moderate, severe or many severe problems (PPBC>or=4) improved from 77.3% at baseline to 38.1-53.6% in subsequent months. Mean KHQ scores decreased significantly (p<or=0.0196) from baseline to study end in eight of 10 domains, indicating improved health-related quality of life. The proportion of men with BDI-II score>12 (associated with a diagnosis of depression) decreased from 23.9% to 17.9% (p=0.0055). Men with a history of 'prostate problems' or use of 'BPH medication' (32.2%) had KHQ domain changes that were similar (p>or=0.1016) to those of other men. Most men (76.2%) reported no treatment-related adverse events; two men (0.5%) experienced symptoms of mild urinary retention, but neither required catheterisation.

conclusionsOxybutynin transdermal system treatment of men with OAB was effective and well tolerated, regardless of history of prostate condition.
