Can feeling of incomplete bladder emptying reflect significant postvoid residual urine? Is it reliable as a symptom solely?

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
purposeThe main objective of this study was to reveal the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and post-void residual (PVR) urine volume. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween October 2014 and February 2015, older than 40 years patients were included in this study. Volunteers filled out a questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics, comorbidities, medications, history of surgery and LUTS. Volunteers were undergone PVR measurement with transabdominal ultrasonography. The relationship between symptoms, demographic characteristics and PVR were analyzed.
resultsA total of 939 patients (756 men and 183 women) were enrolled in this study. There was a positive correlation between the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying and PVR volume in all age groups of women (p=0.0001). However such a relationship was found only over the age of 60 in the subgroup analysis of men (p=0.001). PVR volume increased in men by age (0.65 mL per year of age, p=0.011). In men, voiding symptoms and urgency were associated with a high PVR volume. In women, storage and voiding symptoms (except slow stream and terminal dribble) did not correlate with PVR volume.
conclusionsOur study showed that all men over the age of 60 years and all women with the complaint of feeling of incomplete emptying should undergone PVR measurement. Women with the complaint of poor stream and men mainly with voiding symptoms are other candidates in whom PVR measurement would be considered as an important tool in the clinical management and follow-up.
