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

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) affect the majority of men over 60 years old in Germany to varying degrees. These symptoms include issues with bladder storage and bladder emptying. The most common cause of such disorders by far is prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH), which leads to urethral narrowing (benign prostatic obstruction, BPO). Due to the aging population, the prevalence of BPH is steadily increasing and a good understanding of individualized patient treatment is of major importance. Treatment options range from watchful waiting and behavioral therapy to phytotherapy and pharmacotherapy up to surgical procedures. While the range of surgical and interventional therapeutic options is rapidly expanding, innovations in conservative treatment procedures have lagged behind in recent years; however, new drugs and combination treatment with existing medications offer promising possibilities to improve the quality of life and slow progression of the disease in patients.
