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

A follow-up study was done in 33 women 10 years after they had participated in a study on conservative treatment of stress urinary incontinence. The evaluation included a 24-h pad test, a short stress test, and two validated quality of life questionnaires. Currently, five women (15%) were still doing pelvic floor muscle training at least twice per week. During the interim, 15 (47%) women had undergone stress incontinence surgery, and 12 (80%) of these were continent. Among the 18 non-operated women, only one (6%) was continent. The difference is statistically highly significant (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, 10 years after conservative treatment of stress incontinence, 85% of the women had stopped conservative treatment, and 94% of those not operated were still incontinent. Significantly more of those who had undergone interval incontinence surgery were now continent.
