The importance of quantitative evaluation of constipation in children with lower urinary tract dysfunction.

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
objectiveThere is a known association between lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and constipation. The objective of this study was to investigate any correlation between voiding and bowel symptoms in children with LUTD.
methodsChildren presenting with LUTD to our pediatric urology unit were prospectively included. Demographic data were recorded. All patients filled out the "Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score" (P-LUTSS) and "Constipation and Fecal Incontinence Symptom Severity" (CFISS) questionnaires. Symptom score correlation and associations with clinical findings were evaluated.
results76 patients were included. The mean P-LUTSS was 11±7.1; mean CFISS was 7.7±7.5. According to P-LUTSS risk groups, median CFISS score increased as the risk group was increased. There was direct correlation between P-LUTSS and CFISS for all patients. 6
conclusionA relationship between LUTD and bowel symptoms, as well as the positive correlation between P-LUTSS and CFISS was demonstrated in this study. Patients presenting with LUTD should undergo meticulous evaluation using special questionnaires for bowel symptoms. Only by then, a complete treatment approach can be provided.
