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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety profile of pelvic floor magnetic stimulation (PFMS) in combination with mirabegron in male patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and overactive bladder (OAB). PATIENTS AND

methodsEighty-six patients were prospectively randomized into two cohorts. The control group received oral mirabegron (50 mg daily), whereas the experimental group underwent combined PFMS and mirabegron therapy. Primary endpoints included variations in urinary frequency and urgency intensity, measured through a 3-day voiding diary. Secondary endpoints included changes in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQol) index, and symptom burden, assessed at weeks 6 and 12.

resultsAmong the participants, 42 received the combination therapy and 44 received mirabegron monotherapy. At both time points, the combination group demonstrated significantly reduced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) - including urgency, frequency, and incontinence - relative to the monotherapy group (

conclusionPFMS combined with mirabegron markedly alleviated BPH and OAB symptoms and improved patient-reported quality of life, without increasing the risk of adverse events compared to mirabegron monotherapy.
