Urinary function changes during pregnancy assessed by frequency volume charts in a prospective longitudinal study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To prospectively evaluate urinary conditions and function in pregnant women by analyzing Frequency-Volume Chart data collected from early through late pregnancy. Pregnant women who visited the research facility and provided informed consent between June 2021 and May 2023 were enrolled. Participants were asked to complete a three-day Frequency-Volume Chart at three time points: early pregnancy (14-16 weeks gestation), mid-pregnancy (25-27 weeks gestation), and late pregnancy (34-36 weeks gestation). A total of 24 participants provided complete Frequency-Volume Chart data. An increase in urine volume correlating with weight gain during late pregnancy was observed. Additionally, both the voided volume and urinary frequency were significantly impacted as pregnancy advanced. Notably, the fetal position influenced maternal urinary conditions: fetuses in the "Right Occiput Position" were associated with statistically significant increases in maximum 24-hour voided volume, maximum nocturnal voided volume, and average nocturnal voided volume (p < 0.05). Furthermore, maximum 24-hour and nocturnal voided volume were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in pregnant women who used pelvic support devices. Our analysis indicates that as pregnancy advances, there is a significant increase in 24-hour urine volume accompanied by a decrease in voided volume. Additionally, both fetal position within the uterus and the use of pelvic support devices were found to significantly affect voided volume.
