Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence Among University Students and Associated Factors.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 hypothesisUrinary incontinence can occur during university years, just as at other stages of life. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence and related factors in university students.
methodsThe cross-sectional research involved 293 students enrolled in the faculty of health sciences at a public institution. Data were collected using an information form, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form, the King's Health Survey, the Physical Activity Scale- 2, and the Childhood Trauma Scale. Descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test for pairwise group comparisons, the Kruskal-Wallis test for three or more group comparisons, and the Spearman correlation test were used to analyze data that did not follow a normal distribution.
resultsThe students' average age was 20.94 ± 1.70 years; 79.2% of them were female. It is observed that 98.6% of the students who were enrolled were single. 15.7% of the students reported that they frequently experienced urinary tract infections. 30% of the students had urinary incontinence problems; 21.1% were affected mildly, 8.2% moderately and 0.7% severely. It was found that the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life varied based on students' personal characteristics and urinary problems. Various associations were identified between age, urinary incontinence symptoms, quality of life, physical activity levels, and childhood trauma.
conclusionsPreventive interventions should be implemented to address urinary incontinence among university students, as it is a public health concern. To avert the onset of urinary incontinence, it is advisable to identify students experiencing this condition, assist them in enhancing their quality of life by addressing relevant factors, promote and motivate them toward physical activity, and implement preventive measures such as exercise programs and counseling.
