1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the predictive value of Prostate Spherical Volume Ratio for Lower urinary tract symptoms and clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia. And compared with other prostatic anatomical parameters.

methodsA total of 154 patients with Benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent MRI and urodynamics were included in the study, while prostate anatomical parameters such as prostate spherical volume ratio, prostate volume, intravesical prostatic protrusion, prostatic urethral length and presumed circle area ratio were determined based on MRI measurements. Average length of follow-up was 12 months. The primary outcome was follow-up for the clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia, defined as an increase in the International Prostate Symptom Score of at least 4 points, Benign prostatic hyperplasia-related prostatic surgery. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

resultsMultivariate linear regression highlighted the significant association of prostate spherical volume ratio with lower urinary tract symptoms. In multivariable logistic regression analysis prostate spherical volume ratio is an independent risk factor for the clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia to an increase in the International Prostate Symptom Score of at least 4 points (OR = 1.53 p = 0.016) and Benign prostatic hyperplasia -related prostatic surgery (OR = 5.15 p = 0.020).

conclusionProstate spherical volume ratio has been significantly correlated with Lower urinary tract symptoms, and it was an independent risk factor for the clinical progression of Benign prostatic hyperplasia. THIS TRIAL IS REGISTERED ON CLINICALTRIALS.GOV: NCT06448533.
