Lower urinary tract symptoms and hematuria in Rheumatoid arthritis (LUTH-RA) study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: To determine the frequency of hematuria and lower urinary tract problems in rheumatoid arthritis cohort. Method: This cross sectional prospective study was conducted at department of Rheumatology Indus Medical College Tando Mohammad Khan from August 1, 2022 to March 3, 2023. Total 229 patients were selected after written and informed consent; demographic details were taken. Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Questionaries' (BFLUTS) was filled and all male participants were asked for ultrasound scan of prostate and freshly voided midstream urine was collected for microscopic hematuria. Results: In this study the prevalence of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) was (77.3%) and microscopic hematuria (34.5%). Major symptoms of LUTS were: nocturia (69%), bladder pain (35.4%), leaking before going to toilet (40.6%), frequency of incontinence (24.5%), nocturnal incontinence (27.9%), sex life spoiled due to urinary symptoms (22.7%), avoid situation where no toilet (30.1%) and overall interference of life (32.8%) cases. A significant association of DAS-28 with LUTS and microscopic hematuria was seen (p<0.01). Conclusion: Lower urinary tract problems and microscopic hematuria are common in both genders, and severity of RA, increases LUTS and affects quality of life.
