Validation of the Wexner scale in women with fecal incontinence in a Turkish population.

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 hypothesisThe main aim of this study was to validate the Turkish translated version of the Wexner scale.
methodsAfter establishing the test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the Turkish version of Wexner scale on 31 patients, total and subscale scores and anal manometric measurements of 60 participants were performed. Correlation between Wexner scale scores and manometric measurement values were analyzed and those values of patients with or without anal incontinence symptoms were compared.
resultsOf the 60 participants, 47 (78%) showed no signs or symptoms of anal incontinence. Wexner scale showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.816). Total and each subscale score of Wexner scale showed strong correlation with resting and maximal squeeze pressures and between each other (p < 0.005). The pressure values were significantly less in asymptomatic patients compared to patients with any degree of symptoms (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe Turkish translated version of the Wexner scale is a reliable, consistent, and valid instrument to evaluate anal functions in women with anal incontinence for Turkish speaking women. Total and subscale scores of the Wexner scale and anal manometric measurements showed significant correlation.
