Predictors of care seeking in women with urinary incontinence.
Article in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
aimsTo determine predictors of health care utilization in women with urinary incontinence (UI) from the population to specialty care.
methodsThe General Longitudinal Overactive Bladder Evaluation-UI is a population-based study on the natural history of UI in women ≥40 years of age. Prevalence of UI was estimated using the Bladder Health Survey (BHS). Survey data were linked with electronic health records (EHRs) to examine factors associated with a clinical UI diagnosis using logistic regression. Risk factors analyzed included: UI symptoms, subtypes, bother, severity, duration, and effect on quality of life, and demographic and other health characteristics. All statistical tests were two-sided with a P-value < 0.05 being significant.
resultsThe overall prevalence of any UI based on responses to the BHS was 1,618/4,064 (40%). Of the 1,618 women with UI, there were only 398 (25%) women with EHR (clinical) diagnosis of UI. Women with UI versus those without UI were more likely to be have a BMI >25 kg/m(2) (70% vs. 58%), more likely to be parous (91% vs. 87%) and college educated (54% vs. 46%), P < 0.001. After adjusting for confounders in the model, variables significantly associated with clinical UI diagnosis included: older age (OR = 1.96), higher parity (> 1 birth) (OR = 1.76), higher urgency UI (OR = 1.08), adaptive behavior (OR = 1.2), and UI bother scores (OR = 1.01), as well as more frequent outpatient visits (OR = 1.03), P < 0.05.
conclusionsUI is a highly prevalent condition with only a minority of women seeking care. Factors associated with health care utilization include older age, parity (1+), number of doctor visits, urgency UI subtype, UI bother, and impact on behavior.
