Sleep-related disorders and lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly males: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2005-2008.

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
purposeLower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sleep disorders both commonly affect people's quality of life. This study aimed to explore the associations between sleep-related disorders and LUTS through epidemiological investigations.
methodsData were generated from the cross-sectional study called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2008. Multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to investigate the relationships between sleep-related disorders and LUTS.
resultsA total of 2516 men were included in the study. Participants sleeping ≤ 6 h/night had higher odds ratios of LUTS (OR: 1.38; 95% CI 1.08, 1.77), daytime LUTS (OR: 1.26; 95% CI 1.03, 1.54), and nocturia (OR: 1.23; 95% CI 1.02, 1.49) than those sleeping 7-8 h/night. Participants who required > 30 min to fall asleep had an approximately 39% higher odds ratios of nocturia than those who fell asleep within 6 to 30 min (OR: 1.39; 95% CI 1.12, 1.73). Sleep problems were positively related to LUTS (OR: 1.42; 95% CI 1.11, 1.82), daytime LUTS (OR: 1.32; 95% CI 1.08, 1.61), urinary hesitancy (OR: 1.75; 95% CI 1.31, 2.34), and nocturia (OR: 1.52; 95% CI 1.26, 1.84). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms were positively associated with urinary incontinence (OR: 1.52; 95% CI 1.12, 2.08). In addition, participants with daytime sleepiness were at higher prevalence of LUTS (OR: 1.66; 95% CI 1.29, 2.15), daytime LUTS (OR: 1.44; 95% CI 1.16, 1.78), urinary hesitancy (OR: 1.95; 95% CI 1.45, 2.63), and nocturia (OR: 1.66; 95% CI 1.35, 2.05).
conclusionThe findings suggested that sleep-related disorders were associated with LUTS, daytime LUTS, urinary hesitancy, incomplete emptying, urinary incontinence, and nocturia in middle-aged and elderly males.
