Obesity contributes to lower urinary system voiding dysfunction in childhood.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundObesity continues to be a leading public health concern in the world.
aimThe aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between obesity, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and voiding dysfunction.
methodsThe study included students aged between 6 and 16 years in Zonguldak. Anthropometric measurements were performed in 404 children using appropriate methods. The body mass index (BMI) of children was calculated. Obesity was defined as a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for age- and sex-specific percentiles of Turkish children. Non-obese children with a BMI below the 85th percentile were defined as the control group. Lower urinary tract voiding dysfunction (LUTVD) was assessed with the dysfunctional voiding and incontinence scoring system (DVISS).
resultsOf the children participated in the study, 151 (37.4%) were obese and 253 (62.6%) were at a normal weight. There were no significant differences in gender and mean age between the obese and non-obese children (p = 0.81). Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MSNE) was present in 43 children (10.6%), daytime symptoms were present in 38 children (9.4%), and voiding dysfunction was present in 34 children (8.4%) in the study. These symptoms were more common in the obese group (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, and p = 0.0001, respectively). In our survey study, we found a serious relationship between both bladder emptying symptoms and storage symptoms and obesity (p = 0.0001).
conclusionObese children are at increased risk for enuresis and voiding dysfunction. Screening and treating obese children for the respective symptoms are significantly important for their quality of life.
