1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of the reviewTo describe current understanding and the relationship between urinary incontinence (UI), mobility limitations, and disability in older women with pelvic floor disorders. RECENT

findingsUI is a prevalent pelvic floor disorder in older women and is considered to be one of the most common geriatric problems. There is no clear classification of UI as a disease versus UI as a geriatric syndrome in the current literature. Since the disability is also prevalent in older women, an evaluation of the relationship between UI and disability, may improve ourunderstanding of UI as a disease or a geriatric syndrome. This relationship may be classified through different pathways. Some evidence suggests that mobility disabilities and UI in older women may have bidirectional pathophysiologic mechanisms through generalized muscle dysfunction. SUMMARY: Expanding research on the mechanisms of UI, mobility limitations, and disability in older women as well as their associations will enhance our insight into clinical, pharmacological, environmental, behavioral, and rehabilitative interventions. It will also lead to improved measures for prevention and treatment UI in older women. Thus, understanding UI, mobility limitations, and disability can have substantial implications for both clinical work and research in this area.
