One year effectiveness of an app-based treatment for urinary incontinence in comparison to care as usual in Dutch general practice: A pragmatic randomised controlled trial over 12 months.
Trial report in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo assess the long-term effectiveness of app-based treatment for female stress, urgency or mixed urinary incontinence (UI) compared with care-as-usual in primary care.
designA pragmatic, randomised controlled, superiority trial.
settingPrimary care in the Netherlands from 2015 to 2018, follow up at 12 months. POPULATION: Women with two or more UI episodes per week and access to mobile apps, wanting treatment. A total of 262 women were randomised equally to app or care-as-usual; 89 (68%) and 83 (63%) attended 1 year follow up.
interventionsThe standalone app included conservative management for UI with motivation aids (e.g. reminders). Care-as-usual was delivered according to the Dutch GP guideline for UI.
main outcome measuresEffectiveness assessed by the change in symptom severity score (ICIQ-UI-SF) and the change in quality of life (ICIQ-LUTSqol) with linear regression on an intention-to-treat basis.
resultsClinically relevant improvement of UI severity for both app (-2.17 ± 2.81) and care-as-usual (-3.43 ± 3.6) groups, with a non-significant mean difference of 0.903 (-0.66 to 1.871).
conclusionApp-based treatment is a viable alternative to care-as-usual for UI in primary care in terms of effectiveness after 1 year. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: App-based treatment for female urinary incontinence is a viable alternative to care-as-usual after 12 months.
