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

introductionAlthough weight loss is known to alleviate urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms, the effects of sex and body size on this relationship remain insufficiently explored. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018, comprising 28,161 participants. Weighted logistic regression analysis, fitted curves, and subgroup analysis were used to assess the association between the percentage of weight loss and UI. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to account for potential confounding factors.

resultsAfter PSM, multivariate logistic regression showed an inverse relationship between weight loss percentage and UI risk (odds ratio [OR] = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.94-0.99). Compared with weight loss percentages < 0%, the risk of UI significantly decreased with weight loss percentages > 5% (weight loss percentage 5.1-10%: OR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.70-1.00; weight loss percentage 10.1-15%: OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.55-0.97; weight loss percentage > 15%: OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.39-0.70). Furthermore, subgroup analysis indicated that this relationship was more significant in males and non-overweight/non-obese populations.

conclusionThere was an inverse relationship between weight loss percentage and UI risk, with noticeable differences based on sex and body size. However, these findings warrant further investigation.
