Association between urgency urinary incontinence and cause-specific mortality: a population-based analysis.

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
purposeUrgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is a prevalent condition with significant implications for quality of life, yet its association with mortality was less examined by a few studies. Using data from representative U.S. population, this study aims to investigate the relationship between UUI and cause-specific mortality.
methodsWe utilized data from the NHANES collected between 2005 and 2014, comprising 21,973 patients (median age 49, 50.3% male). All data were combined with the National Death Index (NDI), which assessed mortality in December 2019. UUI was characterized by at least one incident of involuntary urination before reaching a toilet within a year. The Cox regression analysis was applied to compute the adjusted hazard ratios for mortality, with further subgroup and cause-specific analyses to assess the differential risk of mortality associated with UUI.
resultsOf the participants, 21.8% (4781/21,973) reported experiencing UUI over the year. The average duration of follow-up was 9.3 years, during which 2968 (13.5%) subjects passed away. Controlling for potential confounders, individuals with UUI exhibited an elevated mortality risk. Interaction analyses did not show statistical interactions between UUI and age- and sex-stratified subgroups. However, the findings were consistently indicative of an increased risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer and other causes.
conclusionsUUI presents a significant burden across all ages and sexes, being associated with various conditions and an increased risk of overall mortality including cardiovascular disease and cancer-related death. The causal relationship between UUI and mortality can provide a basis for understanding the mechanism.
