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

objectivesTo clarify the characteristics of co-existent overactive and underactive bladder (COUB) in participants with nocturia from the 2023 Japan Community Health Survey. SUBJECTS AND

methodsParticipants reporting nocturia (≥1 episode per night) were divided into four groups: COUB, overactive bladder (OAB) alone, underactive bladder (UAB) alone, and neither OAB nor UAB (non-OAB/UAB). Nocturia-related variables were compared across groups. Multivariable analyses were performed to identify predictors of clinical nocturia (nocturia ≥ 2) and factors associated with reporting nocturia as the most impactful symptom in daily life.

resultsAmong 2,006 men and 1,787 women with nocturia, the prevalence of COUB was 6.1% and 2.6%, respectively. The proportion of nocturia ≥2 increased significantly in ascending order across four groups in men (non-OAB/UAB, UAB alone, OAB alone, COUB) and women (non-OAB/UAB, OAB alone, UAB alone, COUB) (p < 0.001 for both). Subjective nighttime voided volume (VV) compared to daytime VV and nocturnal voiding trigger also showed significant differences among the four groups in both genders (all p < 0.001). COUB independently predicted nocturia ≥ 2 in men (odds ratio OR: 2.50, p < 0.001) and women (OR: 2.39, p = 0.028). Although nocturia was ranked as the most impactful symptom in all groups, COUB was inversely associated with reporting nocturia as the most impactful symptom (men: OR: 0.43, p = 0.014; women: OR: 0.18, p = 0.002).

conclusionCOUB represents a distinct and severe phenotype among symptom syndromes and is independently associated with nocturia severity.
