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

Abstract
Background and Purpose: Urinary incontinence (URIN) and fecal incontinence (FEIN) are common in women, which affect various aspects of their daily life and general health. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of biofeedback (BFB) in women with urinary and FEIN referring to the hospitals of Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences, Tehran branch, Iran (2021). Materials and Methods: This research was a cohort study that was conducted on 100 women with urinary and FEIN who were referred to selected hospitals of the Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences, Tehran branch. In this study, before and after BFB, the amount of urinary and FEIN in patients was measured and finally compared by SPSS-ver. 16 software. Results: The results of this study showed that the frequency of patients with URIN and FEIN was equal to 66 (66%) and 34 (66%) patients, respectively. After treatment with BFB, 39 (59.1%) patients with URIN and 39 (59.1%) patients with FEIN had symptom improvement. The mean body mass index and the number of pregnancies in patients who improved urinary and FEIN symptoms after BFB were significantly lower than in patients who did not improve symptoms. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that effective and significant factors on the improvement of urinary and FEIN symptoms after BFB include fiber consumption, the presence of underlying diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, type of delivery, history of depression, history of anorectal surgery, and vaginal delivery was difficult. In addition, based on the findings of the study, it can be said that BFB has an acceptable effect in improving the symptoms of urinary and FEIN in women, although additional studies are needed to confirm the results.
