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

The pathophysiology of urinary incontinence (UI) involves an overactive detrusor (DOA) or an incompetent urethral sphincter. Therefore, the three most common types of UI are stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), or a combination of stress and urge known as mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Pharmacotherapy represents a recognized option for the treatment of different types of UI. A literature search of Medline publications on pharmacological treatment of urinary incontinence until 2008 was performed. Relevant data from recently published literature were included. Anticholinergics are the cornerstone of UUI treatment, whereas serotonin and norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitors represent an option for SUI treatment. A significant percentage of patients with UI, mainly those with UUI and MUI, can be treated successfully with pharmacotherapy.
