Efficacy and Safety of Propiverine Hydrochloride for Overactive Bladder in Adult: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in The Indian journal of surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of propiverine for treating overactive bladder (OAB) in adult. A literature review was performed to identify all published randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT) of propiverine for the treatment of OAB. The search included the following databases: PUBMED and EMBASE. The reference lists of retrieved studies were also investigated. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Ten publications involving nine different RCTs were used in the analysis. We found that propiverine was effective in treating OAB in our meta-analysis. The decrease in number of micturitions/24 h (P < 0.00001, the mean decrease was from 1.80 to 2.57) indicated that propiverine was more effective than the placebo. Propiverine also decrease the number of urgency, urgency incontinence, and nocturia and increase urine volume. However, the incidence of difficulty in voiding was higher with propiverine therapy compared with the placebo (P = 0.05, the mean percentage range from 0.34 to 4.93 %). The decrease of total international prostate symptom score (IPSS) (P < 0.0001, the mean decrease was from 12.5 to 16.1) indicated that propiverine add a1-adrenoceptor antagonist was more effective in decreasing the lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS). The combination therapy also decreases the voiding symptom and storage symptom scores and increases maximum flow rate. This meta-analysis shows that propiverine is a safe and effective treatment for OAB. The major adverse event associated with propiverine treatment was difficulty in voiding. Propiverine add a1-adrenoceptor antagonist was more effective in terms of decreasing difficulty in voiding.
