Differences in the Prevalence of Nocturnal Polyuria in the U.S. by Definition: Results from the Epidemiology of Nocturnal Polyuria Study.
Article in The Journal of urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04125186 (Epidemiology and Burden of Nocturia Due to Nocturnal Polyuria in the United States), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposePrevalence data on nocturnal polyuria (NP), nocturia caused by overproduction of urine during sleep, is primarily limited to men and varies by NP definition. This U.S.-representative epidemiological study of men and women ≥30 years old assessed the prevalence of NP. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsenting participants completed the baseline EpiNP (Epidemiology of Nocturnal Polyuria) survey (eg Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Tool, comorbidities). All reporting ≥2 voids/night and a target of 100 random respondents reporting 0 or 1 void/night were asked to complete 3-day bladder diaries. NP was defined as nocturnal polyuria index (NPI) >0.33 (NPI33) and nocturnal urine production >90 ml/hour (NUP90). Extrapolated prevalence was stratified by sex and subgroups: idiopathic (without underlying causes), associated with overactive bladder (NPOAB), bladder outlet obstruction (NPBOO; men) and comorbidities. Voided volumes and timing, including first uninterrupted sleep period, were assessed by subgroup.
resultsA total of 10,190 individuals completed the baseline survey; mean age (range) was 54.4 (30-95). A total of 3,938 individuals were invited to complete the diary; 1,763 (49.3%) completed 3-day bladder diaries. Urine production (maximum nighttime volume, total volume, nocturnal urine production, nocturia index) was higher in both men and women with idiopathic NP and comorbidities. The median number of nighttime voids was greatest for NPBOO in men and NPOAB in women. Bother associated with nighttime voiding differed by NP subgroup but was highest in NPBOO for men (NPI33: 69.6%; NUP90: 71.1%) and NPOAB for women (NPI33: 67.5%; NUP90: 66.0%).
conclusionsThis population-based NP prevalence study including men and women characterizes NP subgroups and provides insights into nocturia treatment by emphasizing factors influencing urine production versus factors influencing bladder capacity.
