Cough stress tests to diagnose stress urinary incontinence in women with pelvic organ prolapse with indication for surgical treatment.
Observational study in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimsTo evaluate the diagnostic ability of different cough stress tests (CSTs) in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), performed during outpatient urogynaecological exams.
methodsProspective, multicentre observational study involving women on waiting lists for POP surgery. With a subjectively full bladder, patients were asked to perform five different CSTs: without prolapse reduction ([a] standing, followed by [b] semilithotomy position); keeping semilithotomy position with prolapse reduced (by [c] posterior speculum, followed by [d] pessary); [e] standing again with the pessary in place. Primary outcome was positive CST in at least one of the five CSTs. Bladder volume was measured and symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were detected by two validated questionnaires.
resultsA total of 297 women completed all CSTs and were included in the analyses. Mean (SD) age, parity, and body mass index were 64.8 (9.9) years, 2.7 (1.3) deliveries, and 26.6 (3.4) kg/m
conclusionsThe identification of urinary leakage cases with CSTs is best achieved using multiple different patient positions, different prolapse reduction methods, and bladder volumes ≥200 mL.
