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

objectivesTo explore the particular lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that impact daily life in co-existent overactive and underactive bladder (COUB), overactive bladder (OAB), and underactive bladder (UAB) as symptom syndromes.

methodsUsing data from a nationwide, cross-sectional internet survey of adults aged ≥ 20 conducted in Japan, participants were categorized into COUB, OAB alone, UAB alone, and non-OAB/UAB groups according to the OAB symptom score and the provisional UAB definition of the International Continence Society working group. Participants were asked what symptoms affected their daily lives. The prevalence of LUTS and the particular LUTS affecting daily life were evaluated in each group.

resultsSubstantial proportions of participants in all groups had increased daytime frequency and nocturia. Even in the male OAB alone group, the prevalence of voiding symptoms was substantial. In almost all of the groups, storage symptoms accounted for more than approximately 80% of the particular LUTS that had the greatest impact on daily life, and nocturia ranked first, except for the male OAB alone group, with a 32% rate of urgency.

conclusionsAlthough multiple LUTS affected daily life in individuals with COUB and UAB, storage symptoms, particularly nocturia, are likely to have the greatest impact of LUTS on daily life in those not only with OAB but also with UAB and COUB.
