A survey of urinary incontinence and health literacy among female rehabilitation professional therapists.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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] The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence, background factors, general health literacy, and knowledge of urinary incontinence among female rehabilitation professionals. [Participants and Methods] We conducted an anonymous online survey of 73 female rehabilitation professionals who worked in a general hospital. The survey collected data on demographics, number of urinations, incontinence-related disorders, and childbirth history. Moreover, the severity of urinary incontinence, urinary incontinence-related quality of life, and general health literacy were assessed. [Results] Urinary incontinence was reported by 49.3% participants. Those with urinary incontinence were older, had a higher number of births, and reported higher rates of vaginal delivery and perineal incision than those without urinary incontinence. One item of the quality of life that was related to urinary incontinence, "personal relationships", was influenced by the frequency of micturition while the other items were related to the severity of urinary incontinence. [Conclusion] Female rehabilitation professionals have a higher prevalence of urinary incontinence than women in general population as shown in previous studies (Onishi, 2023). Therefore, it is important to understand the work characteristics that predispose individuals to urinary incontinence and to create a toilet-friendly workplace environment.
