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

A literature review of the most current publications studying lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and findings in diabetic women was conducted including articles from January 2013 to April 2014. Current reports consistently note that aging and obesity are significantly associated with worsened LUTS in diabetic women. Glucosuria has variable effects on urodynamic parameters and LUTS, but has a significant association with urinary tract infection (UTI) and incontinence at clinically relevant numbers, such as HbA1C values. The presence of severe nocturia in diabetic patients warrants careful surveillance for cardiovascular risks given the significant association with mortality. Diabetics appear to be at higher risk for colonization with the virulent, extended-spectrum, β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species in UTI. Novel therapies in glycemic control and for diabetic bladder dysfunction are undergoing animal model trials with encouraging results. The most promising of these includes stem cell therapy, although a need exists for human studies.
