Efficacy of medication for overactive bladder symptoms in 70 patients with Parkinson's disease.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Managing overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) is challenging. This study aimed to investigate the medical management of OAB symptoms in patients with PD. Methods: Patients with OAB symptoms who were newly treated with tolterodine and/or tamsulosin were screened from a database of 187 PD patients. Before treatment, the Hoehn-Yahr scale, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), and urodynamic evaluation were evaluated. On day 21 of treatment, the IPSS and OABSS were re-evaluated. The changes of these scores and urinary symptoms were analyzed. Results: Seventy patients with a mean age of 62.2±7.9 years and median Hoehn-Yahr stage of 2 (IQR 2-3) were enrolled. Tolterodine, tamsulosin, and tolterodine + tamsulosin were used in 43, 20, and 7 patients, respectively. The IPSS storage symptoms (9.4±3 Conclusions: Tolterodine and/or tamsulosin can significantly improve OAB symptoms in PD patients. Nocturia and urgency remain common after treatment.
