Effect of gender on the etiology of fecal incontinence: Retrospective analysis of a tertiary referral center in Turkey.
Article in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsAnorectal diseases, including fecal incontinence, are prevalent and have an enormous impact on the quality of life. Therefore, investigating their etiological factors may help to reduce the incidence and/or the severity of the underlying diseases. MATERIALS AND
methodsReferral complaints (constipation, strained defecation, and incontinence) and medical and anorectal manometry records of 883 (562 female/321 male, ages 45.17±1.00 and 48.41±0.63 years, respectively) patients were evaluated retrospectively. Maximal resting pressure (MRP) and maximal squeeze pressure (MSP) measured by stationary pull-through technique, volume of rectoanal inhibitory reflex, and sensory threshold to rectal balloon distention (ST) were obtained by water perfusion system. Data were compared according to referral complaints, age, gender, parity, and underlying diseases.
resultsIncontinence was the most frequent referral complaint in 61.2% of females and 67.6% of males. MRP and MSP were significantly lower in incontinent females than in the other groups. In incontinent males, MSP was lower than the strained defecation group, and ST was higher than the constipation group. Age was negatively correlated with MRP for both of the genders and in all groups. Obstetric trauma (85%) and number of parity (3.40±2.59) were significantly higher in incontinent females. Moreover, the most prevalent underlying disease was diabetes in incontinent females (13.7%) and neurological diseases, including traumas, in incontinent males (41.5%).
conclusionIncreasing awareness of labor safety, controlling diabetes mellitus, and preventing obstetric traumas may reduce the prevalence of fecal incontinence.
