Review in Current urology reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

For many years, estrogen has been used to treat lower urinary tract dysfunction in postmenopausal women. The data supporting this practice vary. Large multi-institutional studies have shown little role for systemic estrogens in the treatment of urinary incontinence. Vaginal estrogen preparations show superiority to systemic estrogens for the treatment of irritative voiding symptoms in meta-analysis, but there is significant study heterogeneity and the practice remains debatable. Data from randomized controlled trials support estrogen use in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections. This article reviews the relevant literature addressing the role of estrogen therapy in urinary incontinence, irritative voiding symptoms, and recurrent urinary tract infections.
