Relationship Between A Body Shape Index and Self-Reported Stress Urinary Incontinence Among US Women: A Cross-Sectional 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
introduction and hypothesisStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common among women, but its link with A Body Shape Index (ABSI) is not well understood. This study investigates the association between ABSI and SUI risk in women, exploring variations across different subgroups.
methodsData from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2020) were analyzed. A weighted multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the relationship between ABSI and SUI risk, calculating odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was used to assess any nonlinear associations. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted to explore the influence of factors on the ABSI-SUI relationship. Sensitivity analyses were also performed to ensure the robustness of the findings.
resultsThe analysis, after adjusting for potential confounders, showed a significant association between ABSI and SUI risk (p < 0.001). The RCS analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship (p for nonlinear = 0.02) with a turning point at an ABSI of 0.081. Subgroup analyses revealed that the association between ABSI and SUI was stronger in women with lower BMI, non-Mexican ethnicity, and those without hypertension (p for interaction < 0.05). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the consistency of these findings, supporting their robustness.
conclusionHigher ABSI is associated with an increased risk of SUI in US women, particularly in specific subgroups. This suggests that ABSI could be a valuable measure for identifying women at higher risk of SUI.
