Efficacy and safety of acupuncture therapy for urinary incontinence in women: A systematic review and meta- analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundUrinary incontinence (UI), affects women more frequently than men, with a prevalence to 30-40% of perimenopausal women and almost 50% among women aged over 70 years. caused severe psychological burden and bringing negatively impact to the quality of life, increased caregiver burden and economic cost. Acupuncture is often used to treat them. We aim to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture for women experiencing UI.
methodsThe following electronic databases will be searched from inception to Jan. 2020: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wan-Fang Database and Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database).All published randomized controlled trials in English or Chinese related to acupuncture for urinary incontinence in women will be included. The primary outcome will be the change from baseline in the amount of urine leakage measured by the 1-hour pad test. Adverse events will be the secondary outcome. Study selection, data extraction, and assessment of study quality will be performed independently by two reviewers. RevMan V.5.3.5 software will be used for the assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis.
resultsThis study will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence of acupuncture for UI from the 1-hour pad test.
conclusionThe conclusion of our study will provide an evidence to judge whether acupuncture is an effective intervention for patients suffered from UI. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019133195.
