[Analysis of the effectiveness of urinary incontinence management in a geriatric rehabilitation].

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 is a widespread health-related problem predominately occurring in older adults. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the management of urinary incontinence in routine care in a geriatric rehabilitation clinic.
methodsA prospective observational study without a control group was conducted between 7 February 2018 and 7 June 2018. All patients included in the study (N = 32) received individualized guideline-conform measures to improve the symptoms of incontinence during the rehabilitation period. To assess the change in symptoms, the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) was used at admission (T0) and discharge (T1). Assessment of patient satisfaction was conducted at T1 using the benefit, satisfaction, and willingness to continue treatment questionnaire (BSW).
resultsThe total score of the ICIQ-UI SF improved by an average of 3.4 points (p = 0.004) due to a decrease in the frequency of incontinence episodes and in a reduction in the urine volume lost. Furthermore, there was a decrease in the number of patients who lost a large amount of urine from 9.4% at T0 to 3.1% at T1. The proportion of patients with incontinence several times a day, decreased from 68.6% to 31.3% during the intervention. Of the patients 80% received a guideline-conform treatment during the time of rehabilitation and 64% of the patients were satisfied with the treatment.
conclusionThe guideline-conform treatment of urinary incontinence in geriatric patients led to an improvement in the symptoms. A large number of patients benefited from the management of urinary incontinence during the rehabilitation period.
