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

introduction and hypothesisThe primary aim of the study was to translate and validate a Polish version of the CONTILIFE, a quality of life questionnaire. The clinical validity of the CONTILIFE was assessed against the number of urinary leaks, Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP), and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP).

methodsOne hundred women with stress urinary incontinence completed a Polish version of the CONTILIFE twice with a 4-day interval.

resultsInternal consistency (Cronbach's alpha= 0.94) and test-retest reliability of the instrument (ICC = 0.96) were very good. A significant relationship was found between all the CONTILIFE dimension scores, the CONTILIFE global score, and the number of urinary leaks per week. A less significant relationship was found between VLPP, MUCP, and CONTILIFE dimension and global scores.

conclusionsA Polish version of the CONTILIFE can be a reliable measure of quality of life in stress urinary incontinence patients.
