Effect of a self-care program among women with urinary incontinence: A quasi-experimental study.
Article in Journal of medicine and life, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Urinary incontinence is a multifactorial health problem that significantly affects women's quality of life. This quasi-experimental pre/post-test study aimed to evaluate the effect of a self-care program on women suffering from urinary incontinence. The study was conducted at the urodynamic unit within Ain Shams Maternity University Hospital, with a purposive sample of 100 women diagnosed with urinary incontinence, with no medical or surgical conditions, and who were not pregnant. A structured interview questionnaire and women's self-care practices checklists were used as study tools. The results showed that 72.0% of the study group and 68.0% of the control group were housewives. Significantly improved self-care practices and bladder retraining were observed in the study group compared to the control group post-intervention and during follow-up (p<0.001). Furthermore, the study group demonstrated a reduction in the severity of urinary incontinence and improved health practices, whereas the control group did not exhibit significant changes. These findings emphasize the significance of self-care programs in managing urinary incontinence and enhancing women's quality of life.
