Associations Between Unmet Social Needs and Overactive Bladder.
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. Cited by 25 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 interest in how social determinants of health may explain relationships between social conditions and health. Overactive bladder is common in the United States, posing a significant public health burden. It was the goal of the present study to assess whether overactive bladder was associated with unmet social needs in a large, cross-sectional sample of patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA community-based sample of adults was recruited electronically to complete questionnaires on clinical and demographic information, urinary symptoms and unmet social needs. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess for association between overactive bladder and multiple unmet social needs.
resultsThe sample of 3,617 participants had a mean±SD age of 47.9±17.3 years. The majority of participants identified as White, non-Hispanic (83.5%), and female (77.6%). A total of 1,391 patients (38.5%) were found to have overactive bladder. The presence of overactive bladder was associated with numerous unmet social needs, including housing instability, food insecurity, worry about utilities, lack of transportation, skipping medical appointments, needing legal help, stress in personal relationships, worry about toilet access and plumbing at home, and lack of social supports. On multivariable analysis adjusting for multiple covariates, all associations between overactive bladder and social needs remained significant.
conclusionsMultiple unmet social needs were associated with overactive bladder, which may have implications for the overall management of overactive bladder patients. It is important for providers to consider these unmet social needs of patients, as highlighting and addressing these factors hopefully can help improve care of individuals with overactive bladder.
