Chinese American Women's Overactive Bladder Care Experience: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Urogynecology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 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
importanceChinese American women often express dissatisfaction with their health care experiences, which have been linked to negative health outcomes. To our knowledge, their experiences and outcomes when seeking care for overactive bladder (OAB) remain undescribed.
objectivesThe objective of this study was to investigate the patient experiences of Chinese American women seeking OAB care. STUDY
designThis was a qualitative study that utilized one-on-one semi-structured interviews and employed inductive analysis to identify themes pertinent to OAB care experiences.
resultsThe 25 Chinese American women participating in the study had a mean age of 59 (SD 15) years. Most described having poor experiences with OAB care (21/25, 84%) and reported a lack of symptom improvement since seeking care (22/25, 88%). Personal, interpersonal, and social factors negatively affected participants' care experiences and led to persistent ongoing symptoms. Specific challenges included difficulties in accessing care due to language barriers, dismissive attitudes from health care professionals, and a lack of knowledge about OAB treatments within women's social circles. These obstacles were further compounded by systemic drivers of health disparities, including socioeconomic disadvantage, age-related stereotypes, and gender bias. As a result, participants experienced feelings of futility regarding OAB care and acceptance of their symptoms.
conclusionsThis study highlighted personal, interpersonal, and social factors that adversely affected Chinese American women's OAB care experiences and contributed to their persistent OAB symptoms. This study also provided insights into developing interventions to improve the care experience for patients with OAB.
