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
The objectives were to investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its relationships with depression, stress, and self-esteem in older Korean women from the Korean Study of Women's Health Related Issues (K-Stori), a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. A total of 3000 women between 65 and 79 years were the final study subjects. We applied multiple linear regression models to analyze associations with depression, stress, and self-esteem levels in relation to UI types. Types of urinary incontinence included stress, urge, and mixed UI. UI affects at least one in two older Korean women (52.2%). The prevalences of SUI, UUI, and MUI were 45.7%, 39.6%, and 33.1%, respectively. UI was found to be adversely associated with depression, stress, and self-esteem: women with UI reported significantly higher levels of depression and stress and lower levels of self-esteem than those without UI. Women with MUI reported significantly greater impairment than the women with SUI or UUI. Our results provide an evidence base for the evaluation of mental health in older women with incontinence. The prioritization of UI detection and the identification of psychological factors may help improve the diagnosis and management of UI and potentially yield significant economic and psychosocial benefits.
