The prevalence of urinary incontinence symptoms among multiparous women: a survey of Saudi health-care centers.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo determine the distribution of urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and their relation to childbirth events.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used a structured self-administered questionnaire that included the Questionnaire for Female Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis and the Urogenital Distress Inventory Short Form. The study included 802 women sampled from four primary health care centers in Dammam, KSA. A chi-square test and adjusted logistic regression models were used to examine the relation between UI symptoms and obstetric events.
resultsOf the participants, 56.6% (n = 454) had at least one UI symptom. Symptoms were most commonly associated with grand multiparity (80.47%), a history of abortion (72%), assisted vaginal delivery (70%), an age of ≤ 18 years at first birth (66.67%) and ≥ 35 years at last birth (75.48%), and a history of macrosomia (84.62%) and episiotomy (67.89%). Unlike the risk of urgency UI, the risk of stress UI was statistically significantly linked to obstetric events. Grand multiparity was associated with a higher risk of both stress UI (odds ratio [OR]: 3.75, confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.68-8.40) and urgency UI (OR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.07-7.73).
conclusionUI symptoms are common among grand multiparas. Unlike urgency UI, stress UI is associated with previous obstetric events.
