Urinary Incontinence in Men and Women After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study.

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
backgroundOur understanding of improved urinary incontinence (UI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is incomplete. Accordingly, our aim was to investigate the association between THA (anterior and posterior approach) on UI (stress, urge, and mixed urge/stress) in older women and men presenting with UI prior to THA.
methodsA retrospective review of 318 consecutive patients who underwent primary unilateral THA in an acute surgical hospital was undertaken. Pre- and postoperative continence status was assessed using the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-UI) Short Form (ICIQ-SF).
resultsOf the 288 patients included in our study, 120 patients had preoperative UI (Incontinent Group) and 168 were continent preoperatively (Continent Group). Postoperatively, 101 patients in the Incontinent Group and 114 patients in the Continent Group completed the ICIQ-SF. Following THA, patients in the Incontinent Group had significant changes in ICIQ-SF total scores (MD=1.7; 95% CI=0.93-2.56; p<0.01), frequency scores (MD=0.7; 95% CI=0.46-0.94; p<0.01), and severity scores (MD=0.6; 95% CI=0.31-0.84; p<0.01) and a non-significant decrease in the ICIQ-SF quality of life scores (MD=0.5; 95% CI=-0.10-1.03; p<0.01). Patients' sex (p=0.94), THA surgical approach (p=0.62), and the type of UI (p=0.61) had no significant effect on postoperative ICIQ-SF total scores. There was a non-significant relationship between age (r=0.03; p=0.79) and time to postoperative follow-up visit (r=-0.11; p=0.27) with ICIQ-SF total scores. In the Continent Group, 11 patients (9.6%) had postoperative UI.
conclusionsFor women and men with UI prior to THA, there was a significant postoperative improvement in UI, independent of sex or surgical approach. Including UI assessment and clinical management strategies into the pre- and postoperative care of women and men undergoing THA procedures is indicated.
