Use and evaluation of disposable absorbent products for managing fecal incontinence by community-living people.
Article in Journal of wound, ostomy, and continence nursing : official publication of The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThe use of disposable absorbent products by community-dwelling people with fecal incontinence (FI) was described.
methodsA survey was administered to 189 community-living individuals with FI at the start of a clinical trial about the effects of dietary fiber on FI.
resultsForty-five percent of respondents (86/189) used an absorbent product to manage FI. More women (88%, 76/86, P = .009) and persons aged 65 years and older (44%, 38/86, P = .001) wore an absorbent product. Participants who wore an absorbent product for FI had a higher (worse) FI severity score (median, 4.75; range, 1-27; P = .006). Sixty-three users wore pantiliners and they were the only ones who used more than 3 products per day. Feminine hygiene products were worn more than incontinence products. Half of users were satisfied with the product they used. Evaluations of product features differed by type of product; odor control had some of the lowest ratings.
conclusionsCommunity-living individuals with FI, especially women and older individuals, tend to wear absorbent products. Perceptions of FI severity, preference, leakage of liquid stool, and presence of urinary incontinence influence the product type and pattern of wear. Participants report that modification of several features of absorbent products might make them more suitable for FI and increase satisfaction.
