Correlation between voiding dysfunction symptoms and uroflowmetry in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence.
Article in Indian journal of urology : IJU : journal of the Urological Society of India, 2012. 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
objectivesTo determine whether the completion of a voiding dysfunction (VD) questionnaire could have a good predictive value for uroflowmetry findings, in a population of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) women. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom a urodynamic database of 415 SUI women, 93 with isolated SUI who underwent urodynamic investigations were eligible for this study. Patients with obvious etiologies of obstruction were excluded. VD symptoms were analyzed using the Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Questionnaire. Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) was defined as a maximal flow rate under 15 ml/s for a urine volume > 200 ml, or a post-void residual volume greater than 50 ml, or an abnormal pattern of the flow curve. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of questioning VD were calculated. Statistical analysis was done using a Wilcoxon test for continuous data and Fisher exact test for categorical data, and multivariate analysis.
resultsReported VD had a poor specificity (41%) and positive predictive value (32%) of BOO on uroflowmetry. No statistical correlation was found between VD symptoms and BOO defined on uroflowmetry (P=0.64) in this specific SUI population showing no obvious etiologies of obstruction.
conclusionsNo correlation was found between obstructive symptoms and BOO as defined on uroflowmetry, in a specific population of SUI women. Our results suggest that uroflowmetry may be necessary rather than multichannel urodynamics.
