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

Urinary and fecal incontinence are comorbid conditions affecting over 50% of nursing home residents. Management should focus on identifying and treating underlying causes. Despite appropriate management, residents may remain incontinent because of dementia and health- or restraint-related immobility. This article reviews the results of studies that have documented how prompted voiding programs can significantly reduce urinary and fecal incontinence, particularly if the intervention includes dietary and exercise components. Documentation of noninvasive and efficacious interventions by randomized, controlled trials and the labor costs of implementing these measures can lead to changes in how nursing home care is provided and funded.
