Life Space Assessment in Older Women Undergoing Non-Surgical Treatment for Urinary Incontinence.
Article in Open journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesUrinary incontinence (UI) impacts all aspects of life activities. This study aims to characterize change in mobility within the community utilizing the Life Space Assessment (LSA) questionnaire in women undergoing non-surgical UI treatment.
designProspective cohort study, performed from July 2007 to March 2009, which followed women seeking non-surgical UI treatment and assessed their mobility and symptoms using LSA, Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) at baseline and 2, 6, and 12 months post-treatment. Estimated Percent Improvement (EPI) and Patient Satisfaction Question (PSQ) were obtained post-treatment.
settingOutpatient tertiary-care clinic.
participants70 ambulatory, community-dwelling women, aged 65 years or older, seeking non-surgical care for UI.
interventionMulti-component behavioral and/or pharmacologic therapies. MEASUREMENTS: We hypothesized LSA would improve with treatment. Repeated measures analysis with Tukey's HSD and backwards selection linear regression model were performed.
resultsLSA score decreased from baseline to 2 months (mean±SD; 63±29 to 56±28, p<0.001) and was sustained at 6 and 12 months (54±28, 54±28). UDI scores improved from 36±23 to 25±24, p<0.001, at 2 months, and improvement persisted at 6 and 12 months (22±22, 21±24). Improvements in UDI and patient perceived improvement in UI were not associated with LSA change. Age, race, and depression impacted LSA, which decreased 1-point for each additional year of age (p=0.004), 6-points for each point higher on the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (p=0.002), and 6-points for African American race (p=0.048).
conclusionDecreased mobility represented by LSA was related to age, depression, and race, but not UI symptom improvement.
