Correlation of self-reported urologic symptoms with systemic health conditions in minority men.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo investigate the correlation between presence and severity of urologic symptoms and self-reported systemic health conditions in minority men.
methodsQuestionnaires were distributed at a Men's Minority Health Fair. Urologic symptoms were assessed with the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) and NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Score (CPSI). Each was graded as absent/mild [0], moderate [1] or severe [2] by standard criteria for each and totaled for a urologic score (US). Other questions included age, height/weight and queried heart disease, diabetes, anxiety/stress, sleep apnea and neurologic disease. A systemic score (SS) graded each plus obesity for 6 domains (0-2 for each).
resultsA total of 52 men completed the surveys with a mean age of 58.8 (range, 37-76) years. By symptom score criteria, 17 (33%) had 1 urologic condition, 19 (37%) had 2 and 5 (10%) had all 3. Mean total US was 1.9 (range, 0-6) and mean SS was 2.9 (range, 0-10). There was a strong correlation between US and SS (Spearman Rho =0.73, P<0.0001). The hierarchy of systemic condition impact on US was cardiovascular > anxiety > obesity > diabetes > sleep apnea > neurologic. By multivariable analysis, after adjusting for age, each systemic component strongly correlated with the US. The multivariable model with age plus all of the systemic scores predicted US more accurately than with any one of its components alone.
conclusionsSelf-reported systemic health conditions correlate strongly with presence and severity of urologic symptoms in minority men.
