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
purposeWe examine the association among depression, suicidal ideation and self-reported lower urinary tract symptoms using a large, cross-sectional, population based study. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 2,890 men from the 2005-2006 or 2007-2008 cycles of the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) who were 40 years old or older. Men were asked if they experienced nocturia, urinary hesitancy and/or incomplete bladder emptying. The PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) was used to determine the likelihood of clinical depression and suicidal ideation.
resultsThe prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms was 33.7% and 10.3% for men reporting 1 and 2 or more symptoms, respectively. Moderate to severe depression (PHQ-9 score 10 or greater) and suicidal ideation were reported by 181 (6.3%) and 105 (3.6%) men, respectively. Men reporting moderate to severe depression (compared to those reporting minimal depression) had a higher odds of reporting lower urinary tract symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 5.09, 95% CI 3.17-8.17 for PHQ-9 score 5 to 9 and AOR 7.62, 95% CI 3.90-14.87 for PHQ-9 score 10 or greater; p trend <0.0001). More lower urinary tract symptoms were associated with a significantly higher odds of moderate to severe depression (AOR 3.09, 95% CI 1.86-5.15 for 1 symptom and AOR 8.06, 95% CI 4.18-15.53 for 2 or more symptoms, p trend <0.0001) and a higher odds of suicidal ideation (AOR 1.70, 95% CI 0.85-3.42 and AOR 2.71, 95% CI 1.40-5.25, respectively, p trend = 0.004).
conclusionsA significant relationship was observed between lower urinary tract symptoms and depression/suicidal ideation. While the pathophysiology of the relationship and its significance in clinical practice remain unclear, clinicians may consider screening men with severe lower urinary tract symptoms for depression.
