Red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio and urinary incontinence subtypes in NHANES 2007-2018.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aims to investigate the relationships among a novel inflammatory biomarker, the red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR), and three different types of urinary incontinence (UI) while evaluating the potential clinical significance of the biomarker. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)-which spanned 2007-2018-was used in this investigation. The relationship between the RAR and the prevalence of UI was assessed by logistic regression modeling, restricted cubic spline curve (RCS) analysis, and subgroup analysis. Fully adjusted models revealed a significant positive correlation between the RAR and all three types of UI (SUI: OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.12-1.35; UUI: OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.31-1.56; MUI: OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.27-1.62; all p < 0.05). Dividing the RAR into quartiles illustrated that an increased RAR was positively correlated with UI compared with a decreased RAR (SUI: OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.22-1.60; UUI: OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.60-2.14; MUI: OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.47-2.21; all p < 0.05). A nonlinear, inverted "U"-shaped relationship between the RAR and UI was demonstrated using restricted cubic spline analysis, suggesting that the RAR impacted UI only until reaching a threshold. Additionally, subgroup analysis revealed a stronger link between the RAR and SUI in women than in men (p < 0.05). An increased RAR was correlated with a heightened risk of UI, and RAR was more strongly associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women than in men. Systematic epidemiologic evidence suggests that the novel inflammatory marker RAR is associated with UI, but more research is needed to determine causality.
