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

Objective: The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a marker currently used to evaluate metabolism. Although the association between overactive bladder (OAB) and obesity has been evaluated in previous studies, the role of the CMI in adult OAB remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the association between the CMI and OAB in a representative nationwide population. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the 2011-2018 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. The CMI was calculated by multiplying the ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and that of waist circumference to height. We used the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score to define OAB. Participants with an Overactive Bladder Symptom Score of ≥3 were considered as having OAB. Smoothed curve fitting and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between the CMI and OAB in adults. Consistency of these results was examined across various population subgroups. Results: The OAB group included 1549 (21%) individuals. Statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: A higher CMI correlated with a higher risk of OAB development. However, the causal relationship requires further verification.
