Fecal Incontinence Drives the Psychosocial Burden in Patients with Dual Incontinence.
Article 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 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
introduction and hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) are debilitating conditions affecting patients' quality of life (QOL). Dual incontinence (DI) of both urine and stool represents an additional burden. We compare the physical and mental health of patients with UI, FI, and DI. We hypothesize that DI might be associated with increased psychosocial burden.
methodsPatients completed online questionnaires on sociodemographics, urinary and bowel symptoms, and psychosocial comorbidity. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures physical and mental health, anxiety, depression, stress, and instrumental support was used to assess psychosocial burden. Responses including PROMIS measures were compared between those with no incontinence (NI), those with UI, those with FI, and those with DI.
resultsA total of 3620 respondents completed the study, the majority of whom were female (78%), and white (84%). Age and BMI were different among groups, with the DI group having the oldest mean age (54 years) and highest mean BMI (29 kg/m
conclusionsDual incontinence results in worse patient-reported physical and mental health, and higher psychosocial burden. In our cohort, it appears that the psychosocial burden may be largely driven by the FI component of DI. Thus, addressing FI in our patients with DI may help improve QOL.
