1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Urinary incontinence can affect men and women to the same degree. A differentiation is made between stress incontinence (i.e. urine discharge as a result of physical activities, sneezing or coughing), urge incontinence (i.e. strong urge to void with involuntary discharge of urine), mixed urinary incontinence and special forms. While men and women share the pathophysiology of urge-associated urinary incontinence, the multifactorial female urinary stress incontinence is in contrast to the stress incontinence in men which is almost exclusively caused by prostatectomy (postprostatectomy). The basic diagnostic procedure for urinary incontinence is largely non-invasive. Special diagnostic procedures are reserved for recurrences and preparation for operative measures. Therapy is oriented to the degree of suffering and patient compliance and incorporates conservative measures as first line therapy (e.g. lifestyle changes, bladder and continence training). Duloxetin is approved for the medicinal therapy of female urinary stress incontinence. The treatment of urge-associated urinary incontinence is primarily with anticholinergic agents. Alternatively, procedures for neuromodulation, a beta mimetic or injection therapy with botulinum toxin can be used in the future.
