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

objectiveTo assess the degree of adherence to the current National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines on the management of urinary incontinence (UI) in men.

designRetrospective survey of male patients with UI in primary and acute hospital (AH) care as part of a national audit.

settingNHS AH and primary care (PC) trusts. SAMPLE: Twenty-five men <65 years old and 25 men ≥65 years old from each participating site.

methodsAll NHS trusts in England, Wales Northern Ireland and Channel Islands were eligible to participate. A web-based data collection form aligned to the NICE guidelines was constructed for the study. All data submitted to the audit were anonymous, and access to the web tool was password protected for confidentiality.

resultsData were returned by 80 % (128/161) of acute trusts and 52 % (75/144) of PC trusts in England, and 71 % (10/14) of combined trusts from Northern Ireland, Wales and the Channel Islands including data on 559 men <65 and 1271 65+ from 141 sites within acute hospitals and 445 men <65 and 826 men 65+ in PC, a total of 3101 participants.

conclusionThe majority of men seen within the NHS with LUTS do not receive management according to evidence-informed NICE guidelines; in general, older men are less likely to receive care that meets guideline standards than younger men.
