Clinical features and management approaches for Urinary Incontinence in Older Adults: Evidence from Three Hospitals in Qatar.
Article in Nepal journal of epidemiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common medical problem that seriously affects patients' physical, psychological, social, and financial well-being. To identify the most effective drug management techniques, this retrospective study aimed to describe the demographics, etiology, and medical traits of people with UI. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Rumailah Hospital, Ambulatory Care Centre, and Hamad General Hospital to investigate UI risk factors, causes, and management practices in people aged ≥ 65 years within the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) in Qatar. Results: The 272 patients enrolled in the study had a marked male preponderance, and a larger percentage of non-Qatari residents than Qataris residents. Solifenacin (24.9%), Tolterodine (4.1%), and Oxybutynin (1.1%) were the most commonly administered anticholinergic drugs, while Tamsulosin (82.9%), Alfuzosin (14.5%), and Doxazosin (1.7%) were the most frequently prescribed alpha-blockers. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of investigating UI in institutionalized older adult populations considering the limited research available in Qatar. The identified preventable risk factors can be proactively addressed to mitigate UI. This study also highlights the need for thorough documentation of the diagnosis and reasons for improving the standards of patient care. The findings of this study provide important information that can be used to design medication management methods for enhancing patient outcomes.
