Exploring literature on knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices towards urinary incontinence management: a scoping review.
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 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
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence affects women of all ages, influencing 8.5% of the world's population in 2018. Effective management of urinary incontinence is influenced by patients help-seeking behaviour and services offered by healthcare professionals within the healthcare system. To facilitate behavioural change, it is important to understand the knowledge(Knowledge: "the comprehension and understanding of acquired facts or information about UI in adults"), attitudes (Attitude: "a predisposed perspective which influences nurses' thoughts, feelings, perceptions and behaviours towards care of adults with UI") and beliefs (Beliefs: "a theoretically conceptualized conviction or expectation regarding UI in general") of healthcare practitioners towards urinary incontinence management. The aim of this review is thus to systematically map the existing literature, reporting on how knowledge, attitude, belief and practices towards urinary incontinence management have been explored.
methodsSix databases were systematically searched. Included studies were published between January 2013 to January 2020 in English, investigating urinary incontinence management in women.
resultsThe search yielded 39 studies, with data emanating from 16 counties. Quantitative, Qualitative and mixed methodologies were used to explore the four concepts of knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices. A wide range of healthcare practitioners were questioned and management was explored in five healthcare settings. All factors explored related to the four concepts are reported and factors reaching consensus in included literature were highlighted.
conclusionThe summarized factors can assist further investigations into the four concepts to change healthcare practitioner's behaviour towards urinary incontinence management.
