Long-Term Safety of Desmopressin Orally Disintegrating Tablets in Men With Nocturia due to Nocturnal Polyuria: Final Results of a Specified Drug Use-Results Survey in Japan.
Article in Lower urinary tract symptoms, 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
objectivesThis report presents the final results of a post-marketing surveillance evaluating the safety of desmopressin orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) in Japanese men with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria (NP).
methodsIn total, 1113 Japanese men who received desmopressin ODT for the first time to treat nocturia due to NP were enrolled in a central registry. Of the 1087 patients for which case report forms were collected, 38 did not meet the safety eligibility criteria of the survey. Consequently, the remaining 1049 patients were included in the analysis. The participants were followed for up to 52 weeks.
resultsThe mean age of the total population was 75.0 ± 9.6 years. A total of 351 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were reported in 259 patients, including 11 serious ADRs in 7 patients (0.7%). The most common ADR was hyponatremia, which occurred in 140 patients (13.3%). Among the 19 patients (13.6%) presenting hyponatremia related symptoms, no reports of confusion, seizures, stupor, or coma was recorded. Multivariate analysis identified age ≥ 75 years, a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and a lower serum sodium level before treatment as risk factors for the development of hypernatremia after the treatment with desmopressin ODT.
conclusionsThe survey provides insights into the safety profile of desmopressin ODT in real-clinical practice in Japan. Patients aged ≥ 75 years, those with underlying medical conditions, and those with abnormal clinical laboratory values, such as reduced renal function or a baseline serum sodium level of < 140 mmol/L, should be closely monitored for the development of hyponatremia during desmopressin treatment for nocturia due to NP.
