Short time to first void is associated with lower whole-night sleep quality in nocturia patients.

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
STUDY
objectiveTo examine associations between diary-based reports of the time to first void and a commonly used measure of sleep across the entire night, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). DESIGN AND
settingData from the Baseline phase of a large, multi-site, US-based, randomized clinical trial of a nocturia medication were analyzed. We examined age-adjusted associations between time to first void as reported in a 3-day diary and PSQI Global and individual subscale scores. PATIENTS: 757 patients with nocturia completing Baseline measurements.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND
resultsUsing quartile analysis, higher scores indicating poorer sleep on all PSQI scales were associated (p's ≤ 0.05) with short time to first void durations. Among individuals in the lowest quartile of time to first void (< 1.17 hours), the odds ratio (OR) of a PSQI Global score > 5 was nearly 3 times (2.96; 95% CI 1.75-5.01) that of those in the highest quartile (> 2.50 h). Shorter time to first void was associated with lower sleep quality, shorter sleep duration, poorer sleep efficiency, and greater daytime dysfunction.
conclusionsTime to first void may serve as a valuable adjunctive, self-report measure for characterizing poor sleep among populations with nocturia.
