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.

2 · The registry

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

Voiding dysfunction in the female patient significantly affects the patient's quality of life. The condition is poorly understood, has varied etiology and clinical presentation, and lacks standard definitions with no consensus on diagnostic criteria. It consists of a constellation of symptoms involving both phases of the micturition cycle. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment of female lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is of paramount importance. However, the differentiation of female LUTS into various syndromes is currently controversial. This article comprehensively reviews the commonly encountered female non-neurogenic LUTS (overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, and painful bladder syndrome); discusses the contemporary management of these syndromes; and emphasizes a syndromic approach to the condition.
