Physical performance measures in older women with urinary incontinence: pelvic floor disorder or geriatric syndrome?
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 8 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
introduction and hypothesisTo evaluate physical performance measures of mobility and functional impairments and assess their association with urinary incontinence (UI) severity and impact on quality of life among older women with UI.
methodsIn a cross-sectional pilot study, 20 women aged ≥ 70 years with UI completed UI questionnaires (Global Impression of Severity, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire [IIQ-7]) and functional status evaluation. Functional status evaluation included the Modified Physical Performance Test (MPPT; range 0-36), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB; range 0-12), and other physical performance measures (e.g., Timed Up and Go [TUG]). MPPT and SPPB scores < 32 and < 10, respectively, indicated impaired mobility and function. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation coefficients evaluated study variables and associations between UI and physical performance measures.
resultsWomen were 76.6 ± 4.7 years old with mean body mass index 33.5 ± 9.0 kg/m
conclusionsMobility and functional impairments are common among older women with UI. Associations between MPPT score and TUG performance with UI impact on quality of life suggest these physical performance measures could be markers of mobility and functional impairments in future research on UI in older women.
