The hidden epidemic of urinary incontinence in women: a population-based study with emphasis on preventive strategies.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent clinical condition especially among women aged 40 years and above. It is not often reported as it is considered an age-related problem. This study attempts to estimate UI among women above 40 years and its determinants in an area zone of Tehran, Iran.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, a total of 800 women were selected from residents of area zone 17 of Tehran.
resultsPrevalence of UI is estimated to be 38.4% (95% CI, 0.35-0.42). Our findings show that those who suffer from osteoarthritis or chronic cough, had any type of internal surgery, had rupture during delivery, and had no regular exercise are significantly at higher risk of UI.
conclusionThe rather high prevalence of UI among middle-aged women has negative impact on women's quality of life; therefore, strategies regarding prevention and management, medical education, and research programs have been proposed.
