How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect urinary incontinence and its management in the nursing homes? A descriptive phenomenological study.

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
backgroundManagement of urinary incontinence (UI) in nursing homes (NHs) represents a complex process that may have become more challenging during a period in which front-line health professionals (HPs) must deal with the outbreak of a new infectious disease. We aimed to investigate how UI and its management was affected in NHs during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the perception of health professionals.
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted between January and March 2021 with 16 health professionals working in nine NHs in the Osona county (Barcelona, Spain) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The individual interviews were conducted via online videoconferencing and each session was audio recorded.
resultsThe HPs highlighted that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the management of continence in NHs, resulting in increased UI. Two main factors were identified: workforce-related and resident-related factors. Considering the workforce, three main topics emerged: pandemic as the priority, lack of personnel and use of personal protective equipment as an obstacle to communication with residents and attending to their needs.
conclusionManaging UI in NHs always has been a challenging point of care, and these challenges were worsened by the restrictions and additional difficulties that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic.
