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

purposeWe wanted to identify factors predicting persistent urge urinary incontinence (UUI) after the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure in patients with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). MATERIALS AND

methodsOf 293 patients who underwent a TOT procedure from May 2007 to August 2010, 175 MUI patients had at least one 6-month follow-up visit. Preoperative evaluations including history taking, physical examination, urinalysis, urine culture, uroflowmetry, postvoid residual (PVR), urodynamic studies (UDS), and symptom questionnaire were performed. After the operation, surgical outcome and patient satisfaction were assessed by symptom questionnaire, uroflowmetry, PVR, and stress test. Statistical analysis was carried out to determine the possible factors influencing persistent UUI after the TOT procedure.

resultsOf 175 patients with MUI, 51 (29.1%) had persistent UUI after the TOT procedure. In a univariate analysis, age (p=0.012) and previous anticholinergic use (p=0.040) were found to be associated with persistent UUI. However, only age (adjusted odds ratio, 3.317; 95% confidence interval, 1.015-12.060; p=0.036) was an independent risk factor in the multivariate analysis.

conclusionsOur findings suggested that women who are older than 65 years may have an increased likelihood of persistent UUI after a TOT procedure. Clinicians should consider the possibility of persistent postoperative UUI in elderly women with mixed incontinence.
