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

purposeThe Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) used in a clinical trial comparing the phytodrug Canephron®N (BNO 1045) with an antibacterial agent (fosfomycin trometamol [FT]) in the treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis (AC) in women was evaluated as a patient-reported outcome measure in a MATERIALS AND

methodsThis double-blind, randomized, multicenter, phase III noninferiority trial was performed in 51 centers in Europe. The ACSS questionnaire was used to assess severity and course of symptoms.

resultsThe

conclusionsEvaluating not only antibacterial but also nonantibacterial agents indicated for the treatment of AC in women, clinical criteria for diagnostics, and measures of patient-reported outcomes are more important as main objectives than microbiological criteria. In this
