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

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of neuropathic pain on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) scores in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).

methodsSeventy-two patients diagnosed with pSS were included in the study. The patients with pSS were divided into two groups according to the presence/absence of neuropathic pain. The Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) questionnaire was recorded assess neuropathic pain. LUTS was evaluated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Incontinence Consultation Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-V8).

resultsThe mean age of the patients was 52.4 ± 11.2 years. Neuropathic pain was recorded in 21 (29.2%) patients. Among the patients, the number of patients with mild symptoms was recorded as 41 (56.9%), moderate symptoms in 25 (34.7%), and severe symptoms in 6 (8.3%) according to IPSS. IPSS and IPSS voiding subscores were statistically significantly higher in patients with neuropathic pain than non-neuropathic pain group (p = 0.035; p = 0.001, respectively). Although ICIQ-SF, OAB-V8 and IPSS storage subscores were found to be higher in patients with neuropathic pain group, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.299; p = 0.283; p = 0.237, respectively).

conclusionNeuropathic pain concomitant with PSS patients may negatively affect bladder voiding functions.
