Urgency urinary incontinence in women 50 years or older: incidence, remission, and predictors of change.
Article in Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectives: To estimate 2-year incidence, remission, and predictors of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) in a community-based population of women 50 years or older.
methods: We analyzed the 2004 to 2006 data in the Health and Retirement Study. Subjects were women 50 years or older with baseline and follow-up UUI information. Urgency urinary incontinence incidence and remission were calculated. Predictors of UUI progression and improvement were estimated controlling for age, ethnicity, body mass index, parity, psychiatric illness, medical comorbidities, functional limitations, and stress urinary incontinence. We evaluated whether baseline UUI status predicted follow-up status and used multivariable logistic regression to identify predictor variables.
results: A total of 8581 women reported UUI status at baseline and follow-up. Of 7244 women continent at baseline, 268 affirmed UUI at follow-up for a 2-year incidence of 3.7%. Of 581 women with UUI at baseline, 150 were continent at follow-up for a 2-year remission of 25.8%. Predictors of UUI development included increased age (7th and 10th decades compared with 6th decade; OR, 1.5 and 7.2; confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.1 and 4.2-12.5, respectively), obesity (OR, 1.6; CI, 1.2-2.1), history of psychiatric illness (OR, 1.6; CI, 1.3-2.0), functional limitations (OR, 6.2; CI, 4.2-9.2), and stress urinary incontinence (OR, 5.0; CI, 3.0-8.3). Women who denied UUI at baseline were also likely to deny UUI at follow-up (OR, 47.4; CI, 22.9-98.1).
conclusions: In this community-based population of women 50 years or older, UUI incidence was low and remission was high. Predictors of UUI included increased age, severe obesity, functional limitations, a positive psychiatric history, and incontinence status at baseline.
