Lifestyle Profile Scale for Gravida with Urinary Incontinence: scale development and psychometric testing in Chinese Mainland.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesA significant number of women may experience urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy. While lifestyle modifications are recommended as important measures for preventing and treating UI, little is known about the lifestyle status of gravida with UI. This study aimed to develop the Lifestyle Profile Scale for Gravida with Urinary Incontinence (LPG-UI) and to evaluate its psychometric properties.
designIt was an instrument design study carried out in two stages. In stage 1, a literature review was conducted to generate the initial item pool. Subsequently, a Delphi survey was conducted to obtain expert consensus and reduce the items. In stage 2, further item reduction was performed through item analysis. Then, psychometric properties of the instrument were evaluated, including structural validity, internal consistency, split-half reliability, test-retest reliability and criterion validity.
settingThis study was conducted in obstetric clinics of a tertiary maternity hospital in Zhejiang Province, mainland China.
participantsA sample of 447 pregnant women with UI were enrolled in stage 2.
resultsA 24-item, 7-dimension lifestyle profile scale was ultimately obtained. The content validity was satisfactory. The split-half reliability and total-scale Cronbach's alpha coefficient were 0.890 and 0.819, respectively. The criterion validity was 0.598. The seven-factor model, which accounted for 63.667% of the total item variance, demonstrated a good fit with the data ([Formula: see text] =1.672, root mean square error of approximation=0.053, goodness of fit=0.884).
conclusionsThe LPG-UI has sufficient validity and reliability for assessing the lifestyle status of pregnant women with UI.
