Overactive bladder symptoms in patients undergoing rigid and flexible cystoscopy.

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
purposeTo evaluate overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in patients undergoing diagnostic cystoscopy. Overall changes in the entire study population were assessed, as well as broken down by various subgroups.
methodsA prospective multi-center study among consecutive 450 adults undergoing diagnostic cystoscopy was conducted. OAB-symptoms were evaluated with the validated eight-item OAB Screening Awareness Tool (OAB-V8) immediately before and on days 1, 4, and 7 after cystoscopy. Patients were distinguished between being OAB-negative and OAB-positive (< 8 and ≥ 8 sum-score, respectively). Average sum-scores and subdomains were evaluated.
resultsBefore cystoscopy, 44.7% of patients were screened OAB-positive and 55.3% OAB-negative. Out of those being screened negative, development of de-novo OAB was noticed in 16.8%, declining to 8.1% on day 7 (p < 0.001). In patients being OAB-positive before cystoscopy, a decline of OAB-positivity was noted during follow-up (p < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were noted when broken down by gender (p = 0.92), age (p = 0.82) and type cystoscope (rigid vs. flexible, p = 0.38). Average sum-scores declined from 8.68 before cystoscopy to 6.9 during follow-up. Flexible cystoscopy was superior over rigid in four subdomains: uncomfortable urge to urinate (p = 0.04), sudden urge to urinate with little or no warning (p = 0.02), uncontrollable urge to urinate (p = 0.03), and urine loss associated with a strong desire to void (p = 0.009).
conclusionOAB-symptoms are common in patients undergoing cystoscopy. Cystoscopy itself can cause de-novo OAB-symptoms. Controversially, a decline of OAB-symptoms was noted after cystoscopy when patients were screened OAB-positive before cystoscopy. Flexible scopes were superior in some subdomains.
