Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Male Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: Prevalence and Associations With Quality of Life, Depression, and Anxiety.

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
purposeLower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are frequent in male patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study was planned to investigate the frequency and distress of LUTS in men with MS and their association with quality of life (QoL), depression, and anxiety.
methodsOne hundred male patients with MS were included in the study. The International Incontinence Consultation Questionnaire-Male LUTS questionnaire (ICIQ-MLUTS) was used to investigate LUTS. The King's Health questionnaire (KHQ) was used to evaluate QoL and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD-A, HAD-D) scale was used to evaluate depression and anxiety.
resultsA total of 100 men with an average age of 39.3 ± 9.3 (range, 20-63) years were evaluated. The mean disease duration was 9.3 ± 6.0 (range, 1-26) years. The mean EDSS score was 2.2 ± 1.8 (median: 2, range: 0-6.5). A total of 91% of patients reported at least one LUTS. The most common storage symptoms were urgency and urgency urinary incontinence (IU), and the most common voiding symptoms were incomplete emptying, hesitancy, and intermittency. ICIQ-MLUTS incontinence and voiding scores were significantly correlated with disease duration, EDSS, HAD-A, HAD-D, and all KHQ subgroups, except general health perceptions.
conclusionsLUTS, including storage and voiding symptoms, were highly prevalent in male MS patients and significantly correlated with reduced QoL, increased HAD-D and HAD-A scores.
