Impact of Quality-of-life-related Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Kidney Transplantation: A Cross-sectional Observational Study.
Observational study in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimLower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common symptoms after kidney transplantation (KT). This study investigated the factors affecting the quality of life (QOL) of patients with LUTS after KT. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe enrolled 46 patients with LUTS who visited our institution after KT between 2020 and 2021. In addition to clinical information obtained from medical charts [patient age, sex, body mass index, duration of dialysis, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) before KT, information related to LUTS was collected, including International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS-QOL score, nocturia-QOL (N-QOL) score, uroflowmetry, and bladder diary. The patients were divided into groups according to IPSS score (≥8 and <8, respectively).
resultsThe median age in both groups was 55 years. Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) ≥2 or duration of dialysis did not differ significantly between groups (
conclusionPreoperative interventions for complications may lead to improved QOL in patients undergoing KT. The risk factors for LUTS after KT are nocturia and low N-QOL scores. Finally, treatment of nocturia can improve LUTS.
