The Association between Depression and Overactive Bladder: A Cross-Sectional Study of NHANES 2011-2018.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introduction and hypothesisThe relationship between depression and overactive bladder (OAB) is unknown. This study aimed to explore the association between depression and OAB in the U.S. POPULATION:
methodsA cross-sectional study was performed utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018. Depression status and severity among participants were assessed via the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The OAB symptoms of the participants were assessed via the OAB symptom score (OABSS) scale. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to evaluate the association between depression and OAB.
resultsA total of 19,359 participants were enrolled in the study, with 91.01% (N = 17618) exhibiting minimal or mild depression, 7.92% (N = 1533) presenting with moderate or moderately severe depression, and 1.07% (N = 208) identified as severe depression. The overall prevalence of OAB was 21.62%. We found that depression was positively associated with OAB before and after adjustments for all covariates. After adjusting for covariates, individuals with moderate or moderately severe depression presented an elevated risk of OAB (OR = 2.52, 95% CI 2.11-3.01, p < 0.01), while those with severe depression presented a greater risk (OR = 3.74 95% CI 2.37-5.90, p < 0.01) than did participants with minimal or mild depression. Age may modify the correlation between depression and OAB.
conclusionsOur study highlighted a positive association between depression and OAB in the U.S. population, and the association between depression and OAB was modified by age. However, more studies are needed in the future to verify the associations between depression and OAB and their underlying mechanisms.
