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.

2 · The registry

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 (UI) has been identified as a health priority by the World Health Organization. Despite being a widely discussed topic, UI remains an underrecognized condition: affected individuals often refrain from reporting it due to its status as a socially sensitive topic and a source of embarrassment. UI exhibits a markedly higher prevalence in the female population compared to males and significantly diminishes the quality of life for those affected. It impacts various personal, relational, and social domains in which women aged 40-65 years are often actively engaged. Moreover, the most recent Italian prevalence publications date back to the early 2000s. Consequently, an observational study focused on UI in Italy could provide valuable insights. This paper outlines a protocol designed to investigate the point prevalence, risk factors, quality of life, social impact and economic burden of UI in female patients, caregivers, healthcare and administrative workers aged 40-65 years across four hospitals in Northern Italy using a survey (UI SURVEY) and two questionnaires validated in Italian (ICIQ UI-SF and IIQ-7). The findings of this study could also inform nursing and midwifery practices in the management of women affected by UI.
