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

objectivesThe albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) is considered an important indicator reflecting an individual's immune function and nutritional status, and it is closely associated with various health conditions. However, despite its widely studied correlations in numerous health fields, the link between AGR and Overactive Bladder (OAB) is still not completely comprehended.

methodsData were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, selecting adult samples spanning from 2007 to 2018. Through comprehensive questionnaires and laboratory tests, we gathered data pertinent to OAB and the AGR. To explore the association between AGR levels and the likelihood of developing OAB, we utilized advanced statistical techniques, such as weighted multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Furthermore, we carried out subgroup analyses to assess the uniformity of this association across various demographics.

resultsAfter adjusting for relevant covariates, we discovered a marked negative correlation between AGR levels and the risk of OAB. As AGR increased, the incidence of OAB showed a declining trend (OR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.56-0.85). Furthermore, significant nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed between AGR levels and the risk of OAB (P < 0.001), and this association remained stable in stratified analyses.

conclusionsOur results indicate that elevated AGR levels could be linked to a reduced risk of OAB. This observation highlights the potential role of AGR in assessing and preventing the occurrence of OAB.
