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

purposeTo assess the correlation between urodynamic parameters and urinary tract complications linked to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), as well to assess the possible value of these parameters for predicting complications.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the relationship between the complications and correlative urodynamic data of 486 BPH patients. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression was used to identify major independent predictors and establish regression models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to evaluate the models' predictive values.

resultsAll of the individual parameters examined significantly correlated with most of the complications linked to BPE, except bladder calculus. According to ROC analysis, all of the areas under ROC curves (AUC), comparison of the individual parameters and the combined effects from the logistical regression models reached statistical significance (p < 0.05), and combining the parameters revealed a higher AUC compared to the individual parameters; however, all of the AUCs were below 0.9.

conclusionsUrodynamic parameters are significantly correlated with most of the complications linked to BPE, and these parameters have predictive value for the occurrence of these complications with limited values.
