Perspectives on overactive bladder in the elderly population.
Review in World journal of urology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionOveractive bladder (OAB) represents a disruption in the storage function of the lower urinary tract. This bothersome condition occurs more commonly in the elderly. Since population forecasts predict a worldwide increase in the proportion of people aged over 65 years, it is reasonable to expect that the healthcare burden associated with OAB will also increase. The pathophysiology of OAB in the elderly is thought to be multifactorial, with an abnormality occurring in the nervous supply and/or the structure/function of the urothelium or bladder smooth muscle, leading to bladder hypersensitivity, abnormalities in bladder sensation (urgency) and involuntary detrusor contraction.
methodsA review of some of the key aspects relating to management of this growing population was undertaken.
resultsThe potential for an elderly patient to present with a number of concomitant conditions means that careful characterization of their overall status is required before deciding on the most appropriate management option for their urinary tract pathology. Lifestyle interventions and pharmacological agents have shown success in treating OAB in the elderly, but as this patient group often has many concomitant conditions they are more likely to be seen by a non-urology specialist.
conclusionsIt is therefore important to raise awareness of the condition and an appreciation of its impact among healthcare professionals to ensure the most appropriate care.
