Weight and urinary incontinence: the missing links.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Excessive weight is an established and potent risk factor for urinary incontinence (UI) among women of all ages. Although few would doubt that weight plays a role in UI, there are still many uncertainties regarding weight as a risk factor. It must be clarified whether body mass index (BMI) is a better estimate than weight, waist circumference, or waist-hip ratio. It is not clear how the distribution of weight affects UI. Does being overweight due to heavy muscles, edema, or pregnancy lead to UI or only being overweight due to adiposity? It is unclear for how long a person's overweight must persist to lead to UI. We do not know whether weight is an appropriate measure of exposure or whether the association between weight and UI is confounded by socioeconomic status, diet, disease, or weight-related hormonal changes. This article summarizes knowledge gaps on the association between weight and UI.
