Sleep duration and overactive bladder syndrome in US adults: a propensity score matching cohort study using NHANES 2005-2018.

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
Objective: The association between sleep duration and overactive bladder (OAB) risk remains underexplored. The aim of this study was to assess this relationship in U.S. adults using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 24,360 participants aged 20-80 years with OAB who completed the NHANES (2005-2018). NHANES Kidney Conditions-Urology Questionnaire data and the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) were collected. Sleep duration was self-reported by the participants. Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariate logistic regression were employed to control for confounding variables, whereas a generalized additive model (GAM) was utilized to explore the nonlinear relationship between sleep duration and OAB. Results: Short sleep (<6 h) significantly increased OAB risk (OR 1.37; 95% CI, 1.21-1.55; Conclusion: Both insufficient and excessive sleep durations were independently linked to increased OAB risk, and the optimal sleep duration to minimize OAB risk was approximately 6 h. These findings emphasize the importance of targeted prevention and intervention strategies focused on sleep and other modifiable risk factors for OAB. Further research is needed to better understand the biological mechanisms linking sleep duration and OAB.
