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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the associations among sarcopenia, lower urinary tract symptoms, and anxiety in urinary incontinence in community-dwelling older women.

methodsWe analyzed data from 194 older women (mean age: 74.7 ± 5.8 years) who participated in a community cohort study. Sarcopenia was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. Lower urinary tract symptoms were classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of urinary incontinence, increased daytime frequency, and nocturia. Anxiety was classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of urinary incontinence-related anxiety in urinary incontinence. Associations among sarcopenia, lower urinary tract symptoms, and anxiety in urinary incontinence were examined using binary logistic regression analysis.

resultsOf the participants, 31 (16%) were classified as having sarcopenia, of whom 67.7% had nocturia, which was a significantly higher proportion (42.9%) than that in those without sarcopenia (p = 0.011). Multivariate analysis revealed that sarcopenia was significantly associated with nocturia (odds ratio: 2.61; 95% confidence interval: 1.05-6.49). No association was observed between sarcopenia and urinary incontinence, increased daytime frequency, or anxiety in urinary incontinence.

conclusionsSarcopenia was independently associated with nocturia in community-dwelling older women, regardless of the presence or absence of concomitant lower urinary tract symptoms. These findings suggest that sarcopenia is related to nocturia and highlight the potential importance of evaluating sarcopenia in addition to pelvic floor muscles in older women.
