Evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms among male COVID-19 patients during the second wave: An observational study.

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
Background: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected almost all age groups globally, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) may be one of the early manifestations of COVID-19, especially in elderly patients. This study aimed at evaluating LUTS in male COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 s wave. Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted between March 15, 2021, and March 25, 2021, at the Prince Hamza Hospital in Amman, Jordan. Newly admitted COVID-19 confirmed male patients who were able to fill the LUTS (validated) questionnaire were included. Vitally unstable patients requiring intensive care unit admissions or medical or surgical intervention (except catheterization) for their presenting symptoms were excluded. Results: Two-hundred and four patients (mean age: 51.1 ± 17.3 years) were included; among COVID-19 symptoms, augmented urinary frequency (3.4%) was the commonest urological symptom, followed by dysuria (1.0%), and acute urinary retention (1.0%). Twenty-four patients (10.8%) had benign prostatic hyperplasia, two patients had bladder cancer, and one hadprostate cancer. Most patients exhibited mild symptoms on international prostate symptom score (IPSS) before ( Conclusion: This study demonstrated a strong correlation between COVID-19 and LUTS; therefore, COVID-19 infection should be investigated and excluded in any patient presenting with LUTS during the current pandemic. Further research is needed to elucidate the exact pathophysiology of this correlation.
