Prevalence and risk factors for urinary incontinence up to 2 years postpartum: a cross-sectional population-based study.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) is common in the postpartum period; however, most studies focus on the early postpartum period and assess prevalence at only one or two time points. We hypothesized that UI would be prevalent across the first 2 years postpartum. Our secondary objective was to evaluate risk factors for postpartum UI among a nationally representative, contemporary sample.
methodsThis cross-sectional, population-based study used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2018) data for parous women within 24 months following delivery. Prevalence of UI, UI subtypes, and severity were estimated. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds (aOR) of UI for exposures of interest.
resultsAmong 560 postpartum women, prevalence of any UI was 43.5%. Stress UI was most common (28.7%), and most women (82.8%) experienced mild symptoms. There was no significant change in prevalence of UI across the 24 months following delivery (R
conclusionsDuring the first 2 years postpartum 43.5% of women report UI, with relatively stable prevalence over this period. This high prevalence supports screening for UI after delivery regardless of risk factors.
