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.

Abstract

purposeApp-based treatment of urgency (UUI) and mixed (MUI) urinary incontinence has proved to be effective. To further improve treatment, it will be beneficial to analyze baseline and treatment-related factors that are associated with satisfaction.

methodsA secondary analysis was conducted of data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing an app for UUI or MUI treatment, encompassing 98 women for whom there was long-term treatment satisfaction data. All participants completed a short-term (15 weeks) and a long-term (15 months) follow-up questionnaire after being given access to treatment. The outcome was a 3-item question on current treatment satisfaction at the long-term follow-up. Factors potentially associated with the outcome were analyzed using the chi-square test, Student's t test or logistic regression.

resultsAt the long-term follow-up, 58% of the women were satisfied with the treatment. The most important baseline variable associated with satisfaction was incontinence-related quality of life (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) - Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life Module) (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.58-0.97). Short-term follow-up variables associated with long-term treatment satisfaction were improvement in the ability to endure urgency (OR 4.33, 95% CI 1.43-13.12), and confidence in pelvic floor contraction ability (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.04-6.82).

conclusionApp-based treatment for UUI and MUI may be an alternative first-line treatment that is satisfactory to many women over the long-term. Furthermore, short-term treatment that focuses on improving the ability to endure urgency, and confidence in pelvic floor contraction ability, can also be recommended for long-term satisfaction.
