The impact of diabetes on overactive bladder presentations and associations with health-seeking behavior in China, South Korea, and Taiwan: Results from a cross-sectional, population-based study.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the impact of diabetes on overactive bladder (OAB) presentations and related predictors of healthcare-seeking behavior among adults aged ≥ 40 years in China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
methodsAn internet-based survey was conducted to assess the prevalence of diabetes, OAB presentations, and self-perceived urinary symptoms by a multi-national sample of 8284 individuals who completed the survey between June 2, 2015 and July 31, 2015. Independent associations with health-seeking behavior for urinary symptoms were estimated with odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsDiabetes was reported in 13.6% of participants and OAB was 20.8%. Diabetic participants were older than non-diabetic participants in both sexes. Participants with diabetes reported a higher rate of OAB (43.1%) and increased bothersome symptoms associated with OAB than those without diabetes. Participants with diabetes (OR, 3.07 [2.39-3.96]], urgent incontinence (OR, 2.38 [1.86-3.03]), frequency (OR, 1.86 [1.45-2.38]), and nocturia (OR, 1.14 [1.05-1.24]) were associated with healthcare-seeking behavior.
conclusionThe proportion of diabetic participants with OAB was 2.5-fold higher than those without diabetes. Diabetes, urinary frequency, nocturia, and urgent incontinence are predictors of medical treatment-seeking behavior, but the key symptom of OAB-urgency is not a predictor of treatment-seeking behavior. It is important for clinicians to recognize the interplay between diabetes and OAB and to early identify various bothersome urinary symptoms for better health outcomes in daily practice.
