1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between android-to-gynoid fat ratio (A/G ratio) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in US adult women.

methodsThe study employed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, encompassing the 2005-2006 and 2011-2018 cycles. We utilized multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models to examine the independent effect of the A/G ratio on SUI. Additionally, refined subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the impact of effect modifiers, along with sophisticated smooth curve fitting methods to delve into the potential non-linear relationship between the A/G ratio and SUI.

resultsOf the 6779 women participants with an average age of 40.812, 2565 (37.8%) self-reported SUI. A non-linear relationship between the A/G ratio and SUI has been detected, with the threshold (A/G ratio = 0.446). Above and below this threshold, the effect sizes and the 95% confidence intervals were 1.464 (0.775-2.766) and 10.308 (3.558-29.863), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed that the positive association was more pronounced among young women who were premenopausal, living alone, hypertensive and with normal or low body mass index (BMI).

conclusionThere was a non-linear relationship between the A/G ratio and SUI. In individuals with a lower A/G ratio, even small increases in the A/G ratio substantially elevated the risk of SUI. Results of this study indicate that A/G ratio, as a measure of fat distribution, is of great importance for clinicians in assessing SUI risk and timely intervening.
