Influence of bladder outlet obstruction on age-related changes in male bladder contractility.

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
purposeChanges in bladder contractility due to aging are among the important causes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in elderly males. The purpose of this study was to observe changes in bladder contractility due to aging in male patients taking medications commonly used to treat LUTS in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND
methodsMale patients aged over 40 years who underwent urodynamic studies for LUTS from January 2012 to December 2024 were included. The bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) index was used to distinguish between males with BOO and those without BOO. Changes in bladder contractility according to age in each group were analyzed using the bladder contractility index. The Pearson correlation coefficient (
resultsA total of 449 male patients who underwent urodynamic studies for LUTS were eligible for this study (311 in the BOO group and 138 in the BOO group). Age and the maximum flow rate were inversely related in both groups. Age and bladder contractility were significantly correlated in the non-BOO group (p=0.021) but not in the BOO group (p=0.057).
conclusionsThis study revealed that BOO might act as a confounding variable in measuring the contractility of an aged bladder. Excluding the effect of BOO, bladder contractility significantly decreases with age. Therefore, when male LUTS are treated, changes in bladder contractility due to aging vary depending on BOO.
