Ketogenic diet may be a new approach to treatment stress urinary incontinence in obese elderly women: report of five cases.
Article in BMC women's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundStress urinary incontinence (SUI) as a serious social problem restricted women's daily life and affect their quality of life, especially for obese women. The mechanism of stress urinary incontinence is unclear. Weight loss is the first line of treatment for stress incontinence in obese women. Ketogenic diet is a special diet with high fat, low carbohydrate and moderate protein, which can reduce body mass faster than the traditional diet. There exist no reports on the therapeutic effect of ketogenic diet on SUI in obese women. CASE PRESENTATION: Five postmenopausal obese women are diagnosed as mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence, which affected their quality of life for medical treatment. After 4 weeks ketogenic diet, we found that ketogenic diet can significantly improve urine leakage, reduce body weight, decrease visceral fat area, reduce body fat percentage, and reduce BMI.
conclusionReports in this case reveal that ketogenic diet may become one of the effective methods for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in obese women in the future, providing a minimally invasive, highly profitable and highly compliant treatment for stress urinary incontinence in obese women.
