Analyzing and Characterizing Why Men Seek Care for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.
Review in Current urology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 reviewThe goal of this paper is to summarize existing literature on prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that may be attributed to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, LUTS/BPH), factors associated with seeking treatment and treatment success, and subjective and objective methods of evaluating LUTS. RECENT
findingsMen primarily seek treatment for LUTS/BPH because bother overcomes barriers to treatment. Factors such as severity, bother, or persistence of symptoms primarily motivate individuals to seek treatment, while low-symptom severity mainly leads individuals to not seek treatment. Among men that seek treatment, nocturia and storage symptoms predominate. LUTS are assessed with self-report questionnaires; subjective evaluations translate moderately well to objective measurements of LUTS severity. Current symptom classifications and patient groupings may be overly simplified and not evidence-based. Further studies evaluating novel symptom clusters and patient-centered BPH treatment approaches can guide future treatment.
