Investigating the Risk Indicators of Urinary Incontinence Among Young Nulligravid Women: A Cross-Sectional 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
Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are well documented in older, multiparous women, with established risk factors such as menopause, neurological disorders, and diabetes mellitus. However, emerging evidence indicates that young, nulligravid women without these traditional risk factors may also be affected. This study explores the prevalence, risk factors, and impact of UI and LUTS in this population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an anonymous online questionnaire adapted from the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire for Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and the Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Quality of Life. Participants were women aged 18-25 years who had never been pregnant. Results: Approximately one-third of participants reported experiencing UI (urge, stress, or mixed incontinence), whereas 45.9% reported at least one LUTS without UI. Significant associations were identified between UI and increased body mass index ( Conclusions: UI and LUTS are prevalent in young nulligravid women, with modifiable risk factors such as lifestyle habits and toilet behaviors playing a critical role. These findings highlight the need for community awareness programs and proactive patient education during clinical encounters, as affected women are unlikely to seek medical advice voluntarily.
