Association of Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis with Hyperlipidemia: A Case‒Control Study.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 hypothesisMetabolic factors have been proposed to be related to the bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) pathogenesis. Herein, we investigated the association between metabolic factors, especially blood lipids, and BPS/IC.
methodsThe present study adopted a case‒control design, comparing several metabolic indicators in 106 women with BPS/IC versus 164 women without BPS/IC, all of whom were diagnosed at the Hospital between January 2013 and December 2022. The case-control odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for metabolic indicators were estimated using logistic regression. The associations between indicators and BPS/IC classifications were assessed using ordinal multinominal logistic regression.
resultsThe propensity score-matching method was used to eliminate bias from age and body mass index (BMI), and the BPS/IC group had a greater hypercholesterolemia prevalence than the control group (16.3% vs 7.1%, p = 0.046), with an OR > 2.4 (p < 0.05). Ordinal multinomial logistic regression between indicators and BPS/IC classifications showed that age and triglycerides correlated with the BPS/IC lesion grade. However, when the data were corrected for age and BMI, triglycerides still correlated with lesion grade.
conclusionsThe BPS/IC group had a greater hypercholesterolemia prevalence than the control group. Hypercholesterolemia may be a risk factor. Cystoscopic lesion grade correlated with age and triglyceride level. These results indicate a potential association between hyperlipidemia and the BPS/IC pathogenesis.
