Results of sacral nerve neuromodulation for double incontinence in adults.
Review in Techniques in coloproctology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07212387 (Effectiveness of Sacral Neuromodulation in Patients With Coexisting Faecal and Urinary Incontinence), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
Faecal incontinence and urinary incontinence are common and often associated. Sacral neurostimulation is a validated technique for treating each of these two types of incontinence, taken separately. The purpose of this study was to review the literature on the results of this treatment for double incontinence. A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library using the keywords "faecal incontinence", "anal incontinence", "urinary incontinence", "urgency", "urinary disorder", "neurostimulation", "sacral nerve stimulation" and "electric nerve stimulation". We limited the search to English-language articles on faecal and urinary incontinence in adults published from 1995 to the present. We identified six articles, comprising 113 patients who were followed for 3-62 months. Improved faecal incontinence was observed in 44-100 % of cases, while improved urinary incontinence was observed in 20-100 % of cases. Patient satisfaction with the correction of double incontinence, both anal and urinary, was highly variable, ranging from 20 to 100 %. As anal incontinence and urinary incontinence are often associated and are sometimes responsive to sacral neuromodulation, it seems attractive to provide such treatment for double incontinence, to improve both digestive and urinary symptoms.
