Impact of overactive bladder and lower urinary tract symptoms on sexual health in Japanese women.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introduction and hypothesisThis study aims to assess whether lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) affect sexual function in Japanese females.
methodsA multi-component questionnaire was mailed to 576 female hospital workers. It contained the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and a self-administered questionnaire pertaining to LUTS.
resultsOf the 276 responses (overall response rate, 47.9%), 146 questionnaires were evaluable. LUTS had been experienced by 72 (49.3%) of the respondents, 17 (11.6%) had urge urinary incontinence, and 35 (24.0%) had stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The mean overall FSFI score was 22.4 ± 9.0. The mean FSFI score was not significantly different between women with LUTS and women without LUTS (23.2 ± 9.3 and 21.6 ± 8.8, respectively; P = 0.057). However, the mean FSFI score of women with SUI was significantly lower than that of women without it (P = 0.04). No other symptoms showed significant differences in FSFI scores.
conclusionsOur results suggest that sexual dysfunction is related to SUI.
