Prevalence and Associated Factors of Fecal Incontinence and Double Incontinence among Rural Elderly in North China.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Fecal and double incontinence are known to be more prevalent among the rural elderly. Yet, there have been few studies on their epidemic condition among Chinese rural elders. This study estimated the prevalence and correlates of fecal and double incontinence in rural elderly aged 65 years and over in North China. A multisite cross-sectional survey was conducted in 10 villages, yielding a sampling frame of 1250 residents. Fecal and urinary incontinence assessments were based on the self-reported bowel health questionnaire and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, respectively. The concomitant presence of fecal and urinary incontinence in the same subject was defined as double incontinence. The prevalence of fecal and double incontinence was 12.3% and 9.3%, respectively. Factors associated with fecal incontinence included urinary incontinence, lack of social interaction, traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular disease, and poverty. Physical activities of daily living dependence, traumatic brain injury, lack of social interaction, and poor sleep quality were associated with higher odds of having double incontinence, whereas tea consumption was correlated with lower odds. Individualized intervention programs should be developed targeting associated factors and high-risk populations. These intervention programs should be integrated into existing public health services for the rural elderly to facilitate appropriate prevention and management of incontinence.
