National Trend of Uroflowmetry, Urodynamic Study and Cystoscopy Considering the Change in the Population Structure in Korea from 2010 to 2015.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAlthough lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) show a higher prevalence with age, few studies have reported the trend of these examination tools including uroflowmetry, urodynamic study and cystoscopy.
methodsWe evaluated the trend of performance of uroflowmetry, urodynamic study and cystoscopy by using National Health Insurance Data from 2010 to 2015. Primary outcome findings included cumulative number of patients per year, cumulative age-standardized patient rate per year and per age group, and correlation between the number of patients per year and the percentage of population per year in each age group.
resultsThe overall trend for frequency of uroflowmetry and cystoscopy showed an increasing pattern (
conclusionNational trend for frequency of uroflowmetry, urodynamic study and cystoscopy showed a different trend. The increasing trend of uroflowmetry and cystoscopy was related with growth of the aged population. However, urodynamic study showed a decreasing trend regardless of the age group.
