Association of overactive bladder with red cell distribution width to albumin ratio in American.

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
Overactive bladder (OAB) significantly affects places a considerable economic strain and individuals' quality of life on global healthcare resources.The ratio of red cell distribution width to albumin (RAR) is a novel inflammatory marker, yet its association with the prevalence of OAB among adults in the U.S. remains unclear. This nationally representative cross-sectional study utilized data derived from the 2005-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), focusing primarily on individuals aged 20 and older with complete information on red cell distribution width (RDW) and albumin. Subgroup analyses, multivariate logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were employed to investigate the association of the risk of OAB and the levels of RAR. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive performance of RAR levels for OAB.An overall of 26,987 participants aged over 20 years were included in the analysis, of whom 4,943 were diagnosed with OAB. Both before and after adjusting for potential confounders, the results consistently indicated a significant positive correlation of RAR with the risk of OAB. Using the first quartile (Q1) of RAR as the reference, people in the highest quartile (Q4) had a 41% increased risk of OAB relative to those in Q1 after adjusting for all covariates. The RCS curve revealed a nonlinear relationship between RAR and OAB. Furthermore, interaction tests and subgroup analyses indicated that age modified the positive correlation between OAB and RAR. ROC curve analysis revealed that the cutoff value for predicting OAB with RAR was 3.07 (specificity: 57.70%, sensitivity: 64.64%, AUC: 0.649).In U.S. adults, elevated levels of RAR are related to an increased risk of OAB. RAR levels may serve as a potential marker for the development of OAB.
