Efficacy of Combined Therapy With Silodosin and Solifenacin in Females With Overactive Bladder.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeWe aimed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of combining silodosin and solifenacin for overactive bladder (OAB) in females.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 586 females with OAB was conducted. Patients received either combination therapy (silodosin 8 mg + solifenacin 5 mg) or monotherapy (solifenacin 5 mg) for 12 weeks. Baseline and follow-up assessments included the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), maximum flow rate (Qmax), voided volume (VV), and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR).
resultsOverall, 287 and 299 patients received combination therapy and monotherapy respectively. Both groups experienced significant improvements in OABSS and total IPSS after 12 weeks. The combination therapy group demonstrated a greater improvement in QoL compared to the monotherapy group (P=0.031). No significant differences were observed in Qmax or VV between the groups. However, the combination therapy group showed a significant reduction in PVR compared to the monotherapy group (P<0.001).
conclusionCombining silodosin with solifenacin significantly improved OAB symptoms and QoL in females. This combination therapy was particularly effective in reducing postvoid residual volume compared to solifenacin alone. These findings suggest that adding an alpha-blocker to antimuscarinic therapy can enhance OAB management and patient satisfaction.
