Mediating Effect of Serum Uric Acid in the Association Between Nocturia and Mortality.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeNocturia is increasingly recognized as a natural consequence of aging and is commonly observed in the context of systemic dysfunction, with growing evidence linking it to elevated mortality risk. This study aims to elucidate whether serum uric acid (sUA) acts as a mediator in this associative pathway.
methodsThis study used population-based data from 2005 to 2014 to investigate the association between nocturia and mortality, incorporating sUA as a potential mediator. Using data from 12,522 participants, sUA levels were categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4) to assess dose-response relationships in the context of nocturia and mortality.
resultsParticipants in higher sUA quartiles were older and exhibited a greater burden of metabolic risk factors, including higher body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure. After adjustment, Cox regression analysis revealed a significant association between nocturia and increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Restricted cubic spline regression indicated a J-shaped association between elevated sUA and increased mortality. Additionally, mediation analysis demonstrated that sUA partly mediated the relationship between nocturia and mortality.
conclusionNocturia independently predicts mortality, irrespective of metabolic status and sUA levels. These findings underscore the pivotal mediating role of sUA, highlighting the necessity of an integrated approach to nocturia management. Future research should prioritize interventional strategies that target metabolic dysfunction as a means to reduce nocturia-associated mortality risk.
