Occupation History Across 20 Years and Subsequent Bladder Health Among Women in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Cohort Study.
Article in The Journal of urology, 2026. 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
purposeWe examined whether occupation, repeatedly assessed across 20 years, is associated with women's lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and their impact in midlife adulthood. MATERIALS AND
methodsCoronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults cohort study data among women were examined. Occupation was assessed 7 times beginning when women were aged 18 to 30 years (1985-1986 through 2005-2006). The number of assessments that participants reported working in each of 9 job categories was counted (9 variables). In 2012-2013, when women were aged 44 to 61 years, LUTS and their impact (a 4-level composite variable) were assessed. In proportional odds ordinal logistic regression analyses, symptoms/impact were regressed on a single occupation variable, adjusting for age, race, and parity (n = 858).
resultsFor each additional assessment that women reported employment in a managerial or professional job, they had 9% lower odds of subsequently experiencing greater symptoms and impact (odds ratio = 0.91; 95% CI = 0.86, 0.96). For each additional assessment that women reported employment in a service job, they had 25% greater odds of subsequently experiencing greater symptoms and impact (odds ratio = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.14, 1.36). Associations remained significant after additional adjustment for education, financial hardship, health behaviors, and health conditions.
conclusionsEmployment in managerial and professional positions across early and midlife adulthood is associated with lower risk for more burdensome LUTS at midlife, while employment in service positions is associated with higher risk. Research is needed to investigate mechanisms by which occupation may influence later symptoms, such as timely access to workplace toilets.
