Sleep Disorders and Childhood Enuresis in Women with Overactive Bladder Syndrome: Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and hypothesisChildhood enuresis may be associated with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) in adulthood, which may contribute to sleep disorders. The objective was to compare the prevalence of childhood enuresis and sleep quality among women with and without OAB.
methodsThis mixed study included women with and without OAB, who completed an online questionnaire covering sociodemographic, urinary data, and five validated instruments in Portuguese: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-BR), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Berlin Questionnaire (QB-BR), the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS-BR), and the Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB).
resultsA total of 172 women were included, 86 in each group (OAB and non-OAB). The OAB group showed a higher prevalence of childhood enuresis (52.3% vs 25.6%, p < 0.001), poorer sleep quality on the PSQI-BR (9.6 ± 4.1 vs 5.7 ± 3.1, p < 0.001), more individuals classified as high risk of obstructive sleep apnea by the QB-BR (34.9% vs 15.1%, p < 0.001), higher impact on fatigue assessed by the MFIS-BR (39.3 ± 21.8 vs 17.8 ± 17.2, p < 0.001), and more daytime sleepiness according to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (10.9 ± 6.1 vs 8.7 ± 4.8, p = 0.014). Women with OAB were associated with poor sleep quality, fatigue, obstructive sleep apnea, and daytime sleepiness. Childhood enuresis was associated with a 2.96 times higher chance of developing OAB (OR = 2.96; 95% CI: 1.41-6.19; p = 0.004).
conclusionsOveractive bladder was associated with a higher prevalence of childhood enuresis, diminished sleep quality, elevated risk of obstructive sleep apnea, heightened fatigue, and increased daytime sleepiness among women. OAB increases the risk of sleep disorders and childhood enuresis increases the chances of developing OAB.
