The effect of COVID-19 on lower urinary tract symptoms in elderly men.
Article in International journal of clinical practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
aimsThe COVID-19 pandemic is the most important public health problem in 2020. Millions of people have been infected or died because of the outbreak. We know the common symptoms of the disease such as fever and cough. However, all symptoms and features of COVID-19 are still were not known. We aimed to evaluate the change in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after COVID-19 in men.
methodsWe prospectively assessed 94 patients with COVID-19 during hospitalisation. The patients were divided into two groups according to age, that being over and under age 50. IPSS scores of all patients were enrolled. Additionally, we compared the scores with pre-COVID-19 values.
resultsLUTS scores were found to be increased in elderly patients. Additionally, the severity of the disease did not correlate with LUTS scores.
conclusionLUTS may be one of the symptoms of COVID-19 in some patients. Elderly patients with increased LUTS should be evaluated for COVID-19 when the reason unclear.
