1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThis article reports the prevalence of self-reported voiding complaints and the relationship with other pelvic floor and bladder dysfunctions (PFD). MATERIALS AND

methodsWomen with a variety of PFDs were referred to the pelvic care center. A standardised questionnaire on 6 PFDs was used. Frequencies of patient characteristics, PFDs and voiding complaints were calculated. Cross tabulation was used to investigate correlations and Pearson correlation coefficients to reveal the strength of the association between PFDs and self-reported voiding complaints.

resultsData of 4470 women were included. Prevalence of (self-reported) voiding Lower urinary tract symptoms was 59.5%. Incomplete bladder emptying is the most prevalent voiding complaint. Self-reported voiding complaints are weakly correlated to age (r = 0.15, p < 0.01) and have moderate correlation with self-reported recurrent urinary tract infections (r = 0.34, p < 0.01), pelvic floor, bladder and bowel complaints. However, the correlation between the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying and the presence of recurrent urinary tract infections is weak (r = 0.06, p = 0.02).

conclusionVoiding complaints have a high prevalence and symptom bother in women visiting a pelvic care center.
