The cumulative effect of unmet social needs on noncancerous genitourinary conditions and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms.
Article in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeThere is growing awareness on how social determinants of health may significantly influence health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between unmet social needs and the incidence and severity of multiple noncancerous genitourinary conditions. MATERIALS AND
methodsA community-based sample of United States adults was recruited electronically to complete questionnaires on clinical and demographic information, urinary symptoms, and social needs. Logistic regression was used to assess the effect between the number of unmet social needs and various noncancerous genitourinary conditions and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms. Model was adjusted for age, gender, race, insurance, and type of living community.
resultsA total of 4,224 participants were included for final analysis. The incidence of all genitourinary conditions assessed was associated with an increasing number of unmet social needs. Additionally, having three or more unmet social needs, as compared to no needs, was associated with an increased risk of all conditions and worse symptoms-including a 23.7% increased risk of interstitial cystitis (95% confidence interval [CI] 18.8%-28.7%, p < 0.001), 21.9% risk of urge urinary incontinence (95% CI 16.8%-27.0%, p < 0.001), and 20.6% risk of overactive bladder (95% CI 15.6-25.7, p < 0.001).
conclusionsUnmet social needs are associated with an increased incidence of noncancerous genitourinary conditions as well as worse symptom severity, with multiple unmet social needs displaying a cumulative effect. These findings suggest that there is utility in screening patients for unmet social needs, and that the healthcare system should develop a more integrated approach to manage patients with urinary conditions.
