Association of Sarcopenia and Urinary Incontinence in Adult Women Aged Less Than 60 years.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the association between sarcopenia and urinary incontinence in adult women younger than 60 and provide insights into their pathophysiological mechanisms. Patients and Methods: The study included 4,553 adult female participants aged <60, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database between 2011 and 2018. The appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and sarcopenia was determined based on the resulting ASMI values (< 0.512). The type of urinary incontinence was evaluated using the Kidney Condition-Urology Questionnaire, which categorized incontinence as stress urinary incontinence, urgency urinary incontinence, or mixed urinary incontinence based on the results of the questionnaire. Multivariate adjustment models were constructed to analyze the relationship between ASMI, sarcopenia, and different types of urinary incontinence. The model incorporated a range of sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and medical histories as covariates. Restricted cubic spline model was employed to assess the non-linear dose-response relationship between ASMI and urinary incontinence. Results: The results demonstrated a significant negative correlation between ASMI and the development of urinary incontinence. The risk of developing stress urinary incontinence, urgency urinary incontinence, and mixed urinary incontinence all increased significantly as ASMI decreased. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was significantly higher in patients with sarcopenia than in those without sarcopenia. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the inverse relationship between ASMI and urinary incontinence persisted across most subgroups. Conclusion: This study identifies a significant inverse association between sarcopenia and urinary incontinence in adult women under 60, emphasizing the role of muscle health in bladder function. These findings provide valuable insights for clinical risk assessment and intervention strategies.
