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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesDietary factors act on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This study examined the relationship between the overall diet quality and LUTS. SUBJECTS/

methodsThis study analyzed the data from examinees who visited a general hospital in Korea (October 13, 2014-March 12, 2020). The number of subjects in the study was 6,506 adult men. The recommended food score was used to evaluate the overall quality of the diet, and the International Prostate Symptom Score was used to quantify LUTS. Logistic regression analysis was used to derive the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to evaluate the relationship between the dietary quality and LUTS. The influence of age, education, marital history, income, occupation, smoking, drinking, exercise, metabolic syndrome, body mass index (BMI), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was analyzed to determine the net influence of the overall diet quality on LUTS.

resultsThe group with high overall dietary quality showed a lower incidence of LUTS than the group with relatively lower dietary quality (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.79-0.99). These results were also observed after correcting for other risk factors and associated variables: age, education, smoking, metabolic syndrome, BMI, and PSA level.

conclusionThe overall diet quality and LUTS were correlated. Nevertheless, further research will be needed to find the relationship between diet quality and LUTS.
