Comparison of the cough stress test and 24-h pad test in the assessment of stress urinary incontinence.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisThe 24-h pad test and cough stress test are commonly used to assess stress urinary incontinence; however, no comparative data are available. The cough stress test is superior to the 24-h pad test.
methodsWomen with predominant stress urinary incontinence symptoms underwent a cough stress test, a 24-h pad test, and urodynamic testing.
resultsComplete data were available on 55 women. Agreement between the urodynamic results and the stress test occurred in 89% of women (k = 0.51). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 90%, 80%, 98%, and 44%. Agreement between the urodynamic results and the pad test occurred in 60% of women (k = 0.08). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 60%, 60%, 94%, and 13%. Agreement between the cough stress test and the pad test occurred in 67% (k = 0.26).
conclusionsThe cough stress test is more reliable than the pad test for documentation of stress urinary incontinence.
