Impact of urinary incontinence on falls in the older population: 2017 national survey of older Koreans.
Article in Archives of gerontology and geriatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo investigate the association and influence of urinary incontinence (UI) on falls in older adults using the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans data.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans, which was conducted on 10,299 adults aged 65 and older in 2017 by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs.
resultsThis study included a total of 6,134 women aged 65-106, with a mean age of 74.8. In total, 1,152 women experienced at least 1 fall in the past 1 year and 382 experienced 2 or more recurrent falls; 281 women were diagnosed with UI. UI and falls (odds ratio, 1.329; 95 % confidence interval, 1.003-1.762) and recurrent falls (odds ratio=,1.703; 95% confidence interval=,1.145-2.534) were significantly associated. Older individuals with UI were more likely to fall at least once per year (odds ratio=,1.52; 95 % confidence interval=,1.15-2.20, odds ratio=,1.49; 95 % confidence interval=,1.09-2.04) than those without and were also linked to higher odds of recurrent falls (odds ratio=,2.16; 95 % confidence interval=,1.47-3.16, odds ratio=,2.13; 95 % confidence interval=,1.41-3.22) in those with at least 1 cognitive impairment, body functional impairment, or activity limitation.
conclusionOur findings showed a possible increased risk of falls and recurrent falls in older individuals with UI compared to those without, especially in people with cognitive and functional impairment.
