Exploring the association between weight-adjusted-waist index and overactive bladder: A population-based study.
Article in Medicine, 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
Numerous studies have shown that obesity is a risk factor for overactive bladder (OAB). However, traditional anthropometric measures, such as body mass index and waist circumference, are limited in assessing obesity, particularly central obesity. The weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) may provide a more accurate measure of central obesity. This study aimed to explore the association between WWI and the risk of OAB. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the relationship between WWI and the risk of OAB. Subgroup interaction analyses were conducted to assess the stability of the results. Receiver operating characteristic curves were employed to evaluate the predictive ability of various anthropometric indicators for the risk of OAB. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between WWI and the risk of OAB. After adjusting for all potential confounders, each 1-unit increase in WWI was associated with a 26% increased risk of OAB. Dose-response curve analysis showed a linear positive relationship between WWI and OAB risk. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, WWI demonstrated better predictive power for OAB compared to body mass index and waist circumference (area under the curve = 0.669, 95% CI = 0.662-0.677, optimal cutoff value = 11.150). This study found that an increased WWI was strongly associated with an elevated risk of OAB. WWI also proved to be a superior anthropometric indicator for assessing the risk of OAB.
