Relationship between Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction and Dementia.
Review in Dementia and neurocognitive disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is a common health challenge in dementia patients with significant morbidity and socioeconomic burden. It often causes lower urinary tract (LUT) symptoms, restricts activities of daily life, and impairs quality of life. Among several LUT symptoms, urinary incontinence (UI) is the most prominent storage symptom in the later stages of dementia. UI in patients with dementia results not only from cognitive impairment, but also from urological defects such as detrusor overactivity. Management of LUTD in patients with dementia is based on multiple factors, including cognitive state, functional impairment, concurrent comorbidities, polypharmacy and urologic condition. Behavioral therapy under caregiver support represents appropriate treatment strategy for UI in these patients. Pharmacological treatment can be considered in patients refractory to behavioral therapy, but it is more effective when combined with behavioral therapy. Antimuscarinics and mirabegron, a beta-3 receptor agonist, are effective for managing storage symptoms involving the LUT. However, anticholinergic side effects in elderly subjects are a concern, particularly when there is a risk of exacerbating cognitive impairment with prolonged use of antimuscarinics. Proper recognition and treatment of LUTD in dementia can improve quality of life in these patients.
