Clinical epidemiological insights into urinary incontinence.
Review in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 50 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) is very common and heterogeneous among women with limited knowledge of progression or prognosis. Evidence based on clinical epidemiology can help to better understand the natural history of UI.
methodsWe examine the challenges of UI definition and its subtypes, its impact on quality of life and health-seeking behavior. We review the proposed pathophysiology of UI subtypes and known risk factors as they relate to our current knowledge of the disease state. Finally, we emphasize the role of epidemiology in the process of acquiring new insight, improving knowledge, and translating this information into clinical practice.
resultsStress UI is most common overall, but mixed UI is most prevalent in older women. The three UI subtypes have some common risk factors, and others that are unique, but there remains a significant gap in our understanding of how they develop. Although the pathophysiology of stress UI is somewhat understood, urgency UI remains mostly idiopathic, whereas mixed UI is the least studied and most complex subtype. Moreover, there exists limited information on the progression of symptoms over time, and disproportionate UI health-seeking behavior. We identify areas of exploration (e.g., epigenetics, urinary microbiome), and offer new insights into a better understanding of the relationship among the UI subtypes and to develop an integrated construct of UI natural history.
conclusionFuture epidemiological strategies using longitudinal study designs could play a pivotal role in better elucidating the controversies in UI natural history and the pathophysiology of its subtypes leading to improved clinical care.
