Neighborhood-level socioeconomic status impacts the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms in men.

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
Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDOH) impact whether a patient will report lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Since management of benign prostatic hyperplasia is guided by symptoms, it is important to understand the drivers of symptom severity. This study investigated the relationship between neighborhood-level SDOH and the severity of LUTS in men. Materials and Methods: Men who completed the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at a single institution from October 25, 2018, to July 31, 2024, were retrospectively analyzed. High social vulnerability index (SVI) neighborhoods were defined as those in the 75 Results: The study included 20,795 patients, with 1351 (6.5%) from high SVI communities. The high SVI group reported worse overall (10.5 vs. 9.6; Conclusions: High SVI patients report more severe LUTS at initial urologic referral. Delayed access to primary and urologic care in high SVI patients may lead to worse symptoms. Our findings highlight the importance of lowering barriers to urologic care for underserved groups.
