Intervention for patient reported urinary symptoms in prostate cancer survivors: Systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purposeProstate cancer survivors can experience poor quality of life (QoL) due to urinary symptoms. Accordingly, studies on the effects of various symptom management methods for improving subjective urinary symptoms and the QoL of prostate cancer survivors have been actively conducted. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of subjective measurement of symptom management interventions for patients with prostate cancer receiving treatment.
methodsWe used PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL to systematically search for randomized controlled trials published in English, through January 2017.
resultsWe found and systematically reviewed 14 studies for symptom management intervention content, mode of delivery, session, and provider. We then conducted a meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials involving 846 participants, comparing symptom management with usual care. There was a small but statistically significant improvement in subjective urinary symptoms (d = -0.32, 95% CI [-0.47, -0.19], p < 0.001, I
conclusionsSymptom management interventions had small but statistically significant effects on urinary symptoms. However, the present findings should be interpreted with caution considering the number of studies with limited conclusions. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Pre-/post-prostatectomy symptom management intervention may be recommended as a nursing intervention to improve symptom management in prostate cancer survivors. However, more research should be conducted to identify the most effective symptom management intervention.
