Does self-motivation improve success rates of pelvic floor muscle training in women with urinary incontinence in a secondary care setting?
Trial report in International urogynecology journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02319096 (Whole Body Vibration Plate Therapy and Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength in Females With Stress Urinary Incontinence), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisPelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the recommended first-line treatment for women with urinary incontinence (UI). Success rates are variable and dependent on a number of factors. The development of an incontinence treatment motivation questionnaire (ITMQ) provides us with a tool to assess patient self-motivation with respect to PFMT and UI. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of women's self-motivation to perform PFMT on outcome.
methodsWomen with stress predominant UI completed an ITMQ and a 24-h pad test and then underwent a 12-week course of supervised PFMT. At the end of their treatment they completed a patient global impression of improvement questionnaire (PGI-I) and a second 24-h pad test. The PGI-I scores and the difference in pad test weight correlated with the ITMQ according to Spearman's correlation coefficient.
resultsSixty-five women were recruited. Thirty-two (49%) patients perceived themselves as having improved, 28 women (43%) did not experience any change in symptoms and 5 women (8%) felt that their symptoms deteriorated following treatment. When correlating the PGI-I with the ITMQ, 3 of the 5 domains: MQS1 (positive attitude for treatment; p = 0.003), MQS3 (frustration of living with incontinence; p = 0.002) and MQS4 (desire for treatment; p = 0.002) correlated significantly with outcome. Desire for treatment was the only domain to correlate with change in pad weight (p = 0.001).
conclusionSelf-motivation is essential in order to determine improved success rates with PFMT.
