Is vision-related functional burden associated with urinary incontinence?: The United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003 to 2008.
Article in Medicine, 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
Visual impairment and urinary incontinence (UI) are 2 common diseases in the general population that can significantly impact one's life, with multiple common risk factors. But the association between functional vision and UI is not yet clear. This study estimated the relationship between vision-related functional burden and UI in a nationally representative sample in the United States. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003 to 2008 were analyzed, which included 15,955 American adults aged 20 and older. Urinary incontinence and vision-related functional burden were measured separately through the NHANES questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to explore the association between vision-related functional burden and UI. A total of 9396 NHANES participants had complete data on functional vision, UI, and selected covariates. Among the participants, 11.44% (10.57, 12.37) had visual related functional burden, and the prevalence of UI was stress UI: 24.28% (23.28, 25.30), urge UI: 19.01% (17.80, 20.27), mixed urinary incontinence: 9.46% (8.86, 10.10), respectively. After controlling for age, gender, race, smoking status, drinking behavior, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, poverty to income ratio, employment status, and education level, vision-related functional burden was still significantly associated with UI. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of stress UI was 1.79 (1.45-2.21, P < .001), the aOR of urge UI was 1.44 (1.23-1.69, P < .001), and the aOR of mixed urinary incontinence was 1.66 (1.32-2.10, P < .001). In the United States, vision-related functional burden is associated with an increased incidence of UI in adults aged 20 and above.
