Association of advanced glycation end-product accumulation with overactive bladder in community-dwelling elderly: A cross-sectional Sukagawa study.
Article in Asian journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the influence of advanced glycation end-product (AGE) accumulation on the prevalence and severity of overactive bladder (OAB) in community-dwelling elderly adults.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving 269 Japanese community dwellers aged ≥75 years in 2015. AGE accumulation was non-invasively measured via skin autofluorescence (SAF) values using AGE Reader. The primary and secondary outcomes were the presence and severity of OAB evaluated using the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). Individuals with an urgency score of ≥2 and sum score of ≥3 were considered to have OAB. The associations of SAF with the prevalence and severity of OAB were assessed using logistic and linear regression models, respectively, adjusted for clinically important confounders.
resultsThe median age of participants was 78 years. Of 269 participants, 110 (40.9%) were men and 75 (27.9%) had OAB. The median SAF was 2.2 arbitrary units (AUs). Increasing median SAF was observed with increasing age. Multivariable analysis revealed that SAF was not associated with either the likelihood of having OAB (odds ratio per AU=0.77, 95% confidence interval: 0.37-1.62) or the natural log-transformed OABSS (β per AU=-0.07, 95% confidence interval: -0.26-0.12).
conclusionsIn this study, AGE accumulation, as assessed by SAF, was not associated with the prevalence and severity of OAB in Japanese community-dwelling elderly people aged ≥75 years.
