Role of voiding and storage symptoms for the quality of life before and after treatment in men with voiding dysfunction.
Article in World journal of urology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposePrevious studies on associations between voiding dysfunction and quality of life (QoL) have largely been limited to baseline data. Therefore, we have explored associations between Q (max) and voiding and storage sub-scores of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) before and after treatment with QoL.
methodsAnalysis of a single-center database of 2,316 men with voiding dysfunction attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia undergoing various medical and surgical treatment forms.
resultsQ (max) exhibited little correlation with QoL before or after treatment. IPSS inversely correlated with QoL at baseline and after treatment, and IPSS improvements correlated with those of QoL. The associations applied to both the voiding and storage sub-score of the IPSS, with the latter consistently exhibiting somewhat tighter associations.
conclusionsOur post-treatment data support the idea of a cause-effect relationship between voiding symptoms and QoL irrespective of treatment form. While both voiding and storage symptoms contribute to this relationship, storage symptoms play a somewhat greater role.
