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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the characteristics of urodynamics in female parkinsonian patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and evaluate the outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) based on overactive bladder (OAB) scores and quality of life (QOL) scores. PATIENTS AND

methodsUrodynamic assessment was performed in 20 female parkinsonian patients with LUTS. OAB scores and QOL scores were collected before and 6 months after DBS treatment (The target of DBS is STN). We evaluated the related factors affecting QOL score and also the changes in QOL score after DBS treatment.

resultsThe mean age of 20 patients was 60.6±6.3 years, with 65% of patients identified with OAB in urodynamic studies. The mean OAB total score and QOL score at baseline were 7.3±3.7 and 5.0±1.1, respectively. Four items in the OAB score were found to be independent factors and they influenced the baseline QOL scores. Six months after DBS treatment, the OAB total score and the QOL score were significantly decreased (3.7±3.2 (

conclusionMost parkinsonian female patients with lower urinary tract symptoms were diagnosed with OAB. DBS treatment improved OAB symptoms. Improvement of nocturia and urgency positively impacts the QOL of female parkinsonian patients.
