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
introduction and hypothesisHealth-seeking behavior is habitual among people in a society, resulting from the interaction and balance between health needs, health resources, and socioeconomic factors. This study seeks to investigate the influence of health fatalism and health-seeking behaviors on the frequency of non-medication coping strategy use among women with urinary incontinence in Türkiye.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between 8 August 2024, and 22 September 2024. A total of 354 women voluntarily participated in the study, which was disseminated via social media platforms and online forums. Data collection involved the use of a Personal Information Form, the Health Fatalism Scale (HFS), the Health-Seeking Behaviour Scale (HSBS), and the Non-Medication Coping Strategies for Urinary Incontinence Frequency of Use Scale (NMCS-UIFUS).
resultsThe mean total HFS score was 50.39 ± 29.70, the mean total HSBS score was 38.76 ± 20.48, and the mean NMCS-UIFUS score was 35.69 ± 17.31. A statistically significant, strong negative correlation was found between health fatalism and health-seeking behavior, whereas a significant, strong positive correlation was observed between health fatalism and the frequency of non-medication coping strategy use for urinary incontinence (p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that health fatalism explained 37% of the variance in the frequency of non-medication coping strategy use for urinary incontinence, whereas health-seeking behavior accounted for 30% of the variance (p < 0.001).
conclusionsOur study demonstrated that women with urinary incontinence exhibit moderate levels of health fatalism, health-seeking behaviors, and the frequency of non-medication coping strategy use; further, as health fatalism increases, health-seeking behavior decreases, whereas the frequency of non-medication coping strategy use rises.
