The association between obstructive sleep apnea and nocturnal enuresis in children: current advances and research trends.
Review in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nocturnal enuresis (NE) represent two clinically prevalent pediatric disorders that frequently present as comorbidities. OSA, characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, and NE, defined as involuntary voiding during sleep, collectively contribute to psychosocial distress in children. Emerging evidence suggests that OSA in children can cause NE through multiple mechanisms, though the pathophysiological interplay involving altered arousal thresholds and hormonal dysregulation remains incompletely elucidated. Herein, we summarized the relationship between OSA and NE and identified mainstream research directions and recent hotspots in the relationship between OSA and NA in children and informed further research. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis review searched for original publications on the relationship between OSA and NE in children in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1981 to 2025. Research trends, countries, institutions, journals, authors, highly cited publications, and keywords were analyzed using bibliometrics. Co-citation networks were mapped using VOSviewer, and research hotspots and trends were analyzed using CiteSpace.
resultsA total of 147 publications were included. The number of publications and related research interest in the relationship between OSA and NE in children has increased globally year after year. Sleep monitoring and multidisciplinary collaboration may be the next hotspot in this field. The occurrence of NE shows a positive correlation with the prevalence of OSA, and children with NE frequently exhibit comorbid sleep-disordered breathing. Adenotonsillectomy has been demonstrated to have therapeutic efficacy as a primary intervention for children with concurrent OSA and NE.
conclusionsThe co-morbid association between NE and OSA may have significant adverse effects on the psychophysical health of children. Adenotonsillectomy shows potential for treating children with co-morbid OSA and NE. However, systematic multidisciplinary clinical evaluation remains critical in this patient population. Furthermore, this review will help researchers to identify the mainstream research directions and latest hotspots in the field of the relationship between OSA and NE.
