Association between overactive bladder and suicidal ideation in US adults: a population-based study.

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
Background: Suicidal ideation, a critical public health issue, is notably associated with mental health disorders. Overactive bladder (OAB), a prevalent urological disorder, significantly impacts patients' quality of life and is associated with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. This study investigates the association between OAB and suicidal ideation in US adults. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study utilized data from six consecutive NHANES datasets (2007-2018). Suicidal ideation was assessed using the ninth item of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and OAB was identified through a simplified Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). Multivariate logistic regression models, Restricted Cubic Splines, and subgroup analyses were used to analyze. The association between OAB and suicidal ideation, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: Among the 28,085 participants, 3.30% reported suicidal ideation, and 20.39% were identified with OAB. Individuals with suicidal ideation had a significantly higher prevalence of OAB compared to those without suicidal ideation. After adjusting for covariates, each point increase in OABSS was associated with a 15% higher likelihood of suicidal ideation (OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.10-1.20). Participants with OAB had a 47% increased likelihood of suicidal ideation compared to those without OAB (OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.26-1.72). Subgroup analysis proved the robustness of the results of this study. Conclusion: The findings indicate a significant positive association between OAB and suicidal ideation in US adults. These findings underscore the necessity of integrating urological and mental health care to enhance suicide prevention strategies.
