The Influence of Dietary Habits on Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Differential Influence of Water Intake on Voiding Symptoms and Storage Symptoms.

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
purposeTo investigate the dietary factors affecting male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed men who underwent health check-ups. The men who completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and a dietary questionnaire with 19 items were included in the study. Men with a history of medication for LUTS were excluded from the study. The influences of each dietary habit on total IPSS, voiding symptoms, storage symptoms and quality of life were evaluated separately. Dietary risk group was defined by the number of significant dietary risk factors.
resultsThe mean age of 28,463 men was 52.2±8.7 years. After adjusting for age and other conditions, 13 dietary habits (for examples; overeating, preference for salty food, frequently eating sweets, and infrequently eating vegetables, etc.) were the significant risk factors related to worse total IPSS scores. For voiding symptoms, storage symptoms, and quality of life scores, 14, 12, and 12 dietary habits were identified as independent risk factors, respectively. Drinking four or more cups of water per day was related to worse storage symptoms (odds ratio [OR]=1.12, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]=1.09-1.22), but better voiding symptoms (OR=0.90, 95% CI=0.86-0.95). The newly developed dietary risk group showed that total and subtotal IPSS scores increased by the number of bad dietary habits in all age groups, respectively.
conclusionsThis study showed that dietary habits had a significant impact on LUTS. The amount of water consumed had a differential influence on each subdomain symptom.
