Prevalence of bacteriuria and treatment outcomes in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia: a prospective 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
Introduction: The global incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is rising, with bacterial causes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) being a common factor contributing to complications in these patients. Aim: To identify the prevalence of bacteriuria and treatment response in patients with symptomatic BPH. Materials and methods: This 1-year prospective study included all patients presenting with LUTS due to BPH who met the inclusion criteria. Urine samples were collected and analyzed for microscopy, culture, and sensitivity following standard protocols. Bacterial growth in urine specimens and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) of LUTS were recorded before and after antibiotic therapy. Results: A total of 131 patients with symptomatic BPH were studied. Escherichia coli (47.6%) was the most commonly isolated bacteria, followed by Conclusion: Bacteriuria is a common finding in patients with symptomatic BPH in our setting.
