The Severity and Distribution of Nonurologic Pain and Urogenital Pain in Overactive Bladder are Intermediate Between Interstitial Cystitis and Controls.
Article in Urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectives(1) To compare the severity and distribution of nonurologic and urogenital pain between overactive bladder (OAB), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and controls, and (2) To examine the relationships between the severity of urogenital pain and severity of urinary symptoms among patients with OAB. SUBJECTS AND
methodsFifty-one OAB patients, 27 IC/BPS patients, and 30 controls were recruited. Nonurologic pain was assessed using a whole body map and Brief Pain Inventory. Urologic pain was assessed using the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom and Problem indexes, Genitourinary Pain Index, and 0-10 pain scale. Urogenital pain was assessed using a genital map, and report of pain related to bladder filling and urination.
resultsAmong OAB patients, 6% reported pelvic pain only while 28% reported pelvic pain and beyond. 18% reported widespread pain. The distribution of nonurologic pain and urogenital pain in OAB patients were intermediate between IC/BPS and controls (IC/BPS>OAB>controls, P all <.05). The intensity of pain reported by OAB patients was intermediate between controls and IC/BPS (average 2.3 vs 0.8 vs 4.3 out of 10, P <.001). Among OAB patients, the pain severity (GUPI-pain, ICSI-pain, ICPI-pain) was positively correlated with urinary severity (UDI-6, IIQ-7, OABq-SS, OABq-QOL, P all < .05). OAB patients with pelvic pain have worse urinary symptoms and psychosocial health (anxiety, depression) compared to OAB patients without pelvic pain.
conclusionA subset of OAB patients has pain inside and/or outside the pelvis. The intensity and distribution of pain in OAB was intermediate between IC/BPS and controls. Systemic processes such as central sensitization should be examined in this population.
