Standing Postural Balance Control in Women with and Without Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 hypothesisMost women suffering from urinary incontinence (UI) report that leakage occurs during everyday movement. These precise observations raise a potential association between standing postural control and UI. The aim of this systematic review is to compile studies investigating the link between standing postural control and UI, according to the presence or absence of UI, the severity of UI and bladder fullness.
methodsThis systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Observational studies providing data on standing postural control in women with and without UI were considered for inclusion.
resultsTen studies met the inclusion criteria, representing 4262 middle-aged and older active women. According to the modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment Scale, one was study rated as having a high risk of bias, 3 studies fair quality and 6 good quality. Four studies reported results using stabilographic measurement (p = 124 women). Six reported results using standing balance tests (p = 4138). All studies revealed some differences between UI and non-UI groups in standing postural control (p < 0.05).
conclusionsOur analysis provides a high level of evidence that women with UI have more impaired standing postural balance control than women without UI. According to the dual-task theory, worsening continence control is associated with a decline in standing postural balance, and conversely, a decline in standing postural balance is associated with the development of UI. Developing prospective planned physiotherapy intervention studies that address the impact of standing postural control interventions on UI signs and symptoms seems advisable.
