Classification of stress urinary incontinence.
Review in World journal of urology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionThe relevant terminology for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is affected by the context, namely the clinical assessment (the symptom of SUI elicited on history taking and the sign of SUI observed during examination) or diagnostic investigations (urodynamic stress incontinence). In some cases, SUI may only be observed after the reduction in coexistent prolapse (occult SUI). Classifying SUI often relies on distinguishing between intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD), and urethral malposition or hypermobility, although this potentially an over-simplification. REVIEW: Classification systems have been derived based on clinical assessment and diagnostic testing, notably videourodynamics. Modern developments in imaging technology may allow other techniques such as ultrasound to offer additional basis for future developments in classification. Other urodynamic approaches include urethral pressure profilometry and Valsalva leak point pressure; these may offer indicators of thresholds below which ISD is more likely to explain SUI, but they are not generally accepted in routine practice.
conclusionsWhile SUI classification is potentially relevant to treatment selection, evidence for influence on management outcome is limited. Generating a high-quality evidence base for treatment selection on these criteria is problematic, particularly due to the range of confounding factors. In practice, the modern practitioner relies on various tools to form an opinion on some key aspects, using the findings to derive a treatment strategy. Accordingly, there remains a need to confirm how a classification of SUI translates into treatment selection and better outcomes.
