Constipation and risk of urinary incontinence in women: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International urogynecology journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisConstipation is reported to be associated with urinary incontinence. However, the reported results have been inconsistent and contradictory. To evaluate the association between constipation and urinary incontinence in women, we performed a meta-analysis.
methodsA comprehensive search based on PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was performed up to July 2018 for eligible studies in relation to the influence of constipation on urinary incontinence in women. A random-effect model was used to calculate the pooled odds risk (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsA total of 16 observational studies with 35,629 participants and 6054 urinary incontinence patients were identified in the meta-analysis. Constipation was significantly associated with the risk of urinary incontinence in women (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.79-3.38).
conclusionsThis meta-analysis suggests that constipation is significantly associated with urinary incontinence risk in women. However, further well-designed, large-scale prospective studies are needed to clarify the causality.
