State of the science: conservative interventions for urinary incontinence in frail community-dwelling older adults.

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
This systematic literature review aimed to identify conservative interventions for reducing urinary incontinence (UI) in non-institutionalized frail older adults. Randomized and quasi-experimental studies published in English reporting outcomes on UI frequency, severity, or quality of life were included and rated for quality. Studies reporting improvements over 50% in UI outcomes were considered clinically significant. Seven studies with 683 participants (75% female) were eligible. Multicomponent behavioral interventions including pelvic floor muscle exercises and bladder training had the strongest evidence for reducing UI. The evidence supporting comprehensive geriatric assessment with multicomponent behavioral interventions, pattern urge response training, and toilet skills was limited. There is insufficient evidence to derive firm conclusions regarding the use of conservative interventions. Clinical trials are needed on a variety of interventions to guide practice on UI prevention and management in frail community-dwelling older adults.
