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

introduction and hypothesisOur aim was to compare urodynamic findings in urinary incontinent (UI) women with and without diabetes.

methodsIn the extensive Lolland-Falster Health Study, women with lower urinary tract symptoms were offered urodynamic testing. After excluding 6 women with incomplete urodynamic testing and 88 women without UI, our analysis ended up including 417 women (31 with and 386 without diabetes). Student's t-test and chi-squared test were used to compare differences of urodynamic findings. Urodynamic testing consisted of a 2-day bladder diary, post-void residual urine volume, filling cystometry, pressure-flow study, cough stress test, and uroflowmetry. Three experienced physicians in urogynecology evaluated all urodynamic findings leading to an overall conclusion of the test results.

resultsSelf-reported data showed that compared to incontinent women without diabetes, incontinent women with diabetes had more frequent leakage, a larger amount of leakage, and a higher ICIQ score. A positive ICS Uniform cough stress test was more prevalent in women with diabetes. There were no significant differences in other urodynamic findings or overall conclusion between the two groups. Controlling for age and BMI did not affect our findings.

conclusionsWomen with diabetes complained more about UI, had a higher ICIQ score, and had a positive ICS Uniform cough stress test more often than women without diabetes. Based on these findings, we recommend to include the history of urinary incontinence in the care of women with diabetes. This sample consists of women from a comprehensive health study with different severity of UI. Therefore, it can serve as a reference cohort for future studies.
