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: Lupus cystitis may cause significant lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This study aimed to evaluate LUTS and identify potential risk factors in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Materials and methods: In this case-control study, 46 female patients with SLE were assessed for LUTS using the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire on Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS). The findings were compared with a control group of 20 women. Results: The total incidence rates of LUTS in the SLE and control groups were 82.6% and 55%, respectively ( Conclusions: The ICIQ-FLUTS demonstrated acceptable content validity and consistency in evaluating LUTS in patients with lupus cystitis. Rapid weight loss, easy fatigability, fever, psychosis, and elevated renal and clinical SLE Disease Activity Index scores were significantly associated with the occurrence of LUTS in these patients.
