The Complex Relationship Between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Sexual Health.
Review in Current urology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewLower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual health have common links. Medical and surgical treatments for LUTS can significantly affect various domains of sexual health including erectile function, ejaculatory function, and libido. This review summarizes recent findings. RECENT
findingsCurrent literature demonstrates a strong association between LUTS, sexual health, and metabolic syndrome. The role of miRNA is also being investigated. Combination medical therapy with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5-I) shows promise but needs further investigation. Newer surgical therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) aim to preserve sexual function without sacrificing efficacy and durability. Although we are beginning to acknowledge the link between LUTS and sexual health, a better understanding of the underlying biochemistry is needed. Only then can more effective therapies be developed. Further prospective studies should focus on the long-term durability and safety of treatments for both conditions.
