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

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including urgency, frequency, and urgency incontinence, are highly prevalent in the general population and increase in prevalence with increasing age. All LUTS, but notable urgency and urgency incontinence, are associated with negative impact on quality-of-life (QoL), with multiple aspects of QoL affected. Urgency and urgency incontinence are most commonly caused by overactive bladder (OAB), the clinical syndrome of urinary urgency, usually accompanied by increased daytime frequency and/or nocturia in the absence of infection or other obvious etiology, which may be treated with conservative and lifestyle interventions, bladder antimuscarinic drugs, and, more recently, by mirabegron, a β3 agonist. This narrative review describes the impact of OAB on QoL, quantifies this impact, and outlines the evidence for the use of mirabegron in the treatment of, and improvement in QoL in, people with OAB.
