Nocturia, Sleep Quality, and Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in The world journal of men's health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeNocturia is increasingly recognized as a significant factor influencing sleep quality and potentially linked to increased mortality risk. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically review and synthesize existing research investigating the relationship between nocturia, sleep quality, and mortality, in a single framework. MATERIALS AND
methodsA comprehensive systematic search across PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was conducted from the inception of each database until April 2, 2024, yielding studies investigating the methodological qualities and the relationship between nocturia and its impact on mortality and sleep quality. Risk of Bias was assessed using ROBINSE tool and RevMan 5.4 was used to analyze the results.
resultsOf the 1,450 studies subjected to screening, 33 were selected for analysis. Fourteen studies examined the association between nocturia and mortality, and 19 studies investigated impact of nocturia on sleep quality. Significant associations were found between nocturia and both mortality (pooled risk ratio: 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.50-2.10) and poor sleep quality (pooled odds ratio: 3.05, 95% CI: 1.89-4.93). Patients with nocturia demonstrated significantly poorer sleep quality scores compared with controls (pooled standardized mean difference: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.55-1.47).
conclusionsThis meta-analysis underscores the significance of addressing nocturia as a public health concern owing to its association with poor sleep quality and increased mortality risk. It advocates for comprehensive patient care strategies for addressing nocturia, sleep quality, and mortality.
