Stress urinary incontinence and visceral adipose index: a new risk parameter.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2014. 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
objectiveVisceral adipose index (VAI) is a novel parameter for the evaluation of visceral obesity. As we know that obesity is a risk factor for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), in this study we compared the VAI levels between the women with SUI and without SUI. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo hundred and twenty-nine women were included in the study: 125 women with SUI and 104 women without SUI (control). All women were evaluated for SUI. We accessed the women for SUI at gynecologic position, and we performed cough stress test. In the calculations, continence was defined as no incontinence at all.
resultsMean age was 52.1 (29-73) in women who have SUI and 50.8 (31-65) in control women. The women with SUI had higher BMI, TG levels, higher WC and lower HDL-C levels. Mean VAI level was 5.21 ± 2.61 in study group and 3.49 ± 1.78 in control group, respectively. VAI levels were statistically higher in women with SUI (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION: The simplicity of WC and BMI measurements and TG and HDL assessments make VAI an easily applicable index for the evaluation of visceral fat dysfunction. VAI can be a useful index for the evaluation and calculation of stress urinary incontinence risk.
