The effect of age on stress and urgency urinary incontinence outcomes in women undergoing primary midurethral sling.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
introduction and hypothesisThe primary aim was to characterize stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptom distress and impact after a midurethral sling (MUS) in women ≥70 compared to women <70 years of age.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of women undergoing a primary MUS was conducted. The primary outcome was SUI symptoms defined as either "moderately" or "quite a bit" responses to ≥1 of the two SUI questions of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20). Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) was defined as either moderately or quite a bit responses to the UUI question of the PFDI-20. The Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7), Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ), and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaires were also administered.
resultsThe mean age of patients ≥70 years (n = 160) was 75.4 ± 4.5 and <70 years (n = 536) was 56.2 ± 9.4. Multivariable analysis revealed no difference in SUI failure rates in older compared to younger cohorts, adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.7, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.9-3.1. Women <70 demonstrated greater improvement in urinary incontinence (UI) symptom impact [-20.4 (33.0) vs -12.2 (30.7), p = 0.01] and women ≥70 had greater persistent UUI symptoms (31.5 vs 23.3 %, p = 0.04); there was no difference between cohorts in resolution of UUI (29.6 vs 34.2 %, p = 0.34). Younger women reported a greater impression of improvement compared to older women (67.7 vs 56.6 %, p = 0.01, respectively).
conclusionsOlder and younger women have similar SUI outcomes after MUS; however, older women have more persistent UUI and a worse impression of improvement of their urinary tract condition.
