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
objectiveTo assess the structure of social representations of urinary incontinence among Brazilian women.
methodA cross-sectional study, which used semi-structured questionnaires applied online between September 2021 and June 2022. A total of 796 Brazilian women participated. Lexical and similarity analyses were performed using the EVOC 2000® and IRAMUTEQ® software. Evoked words were organized based on frequency and evocation hierarchy.
resultsThe analyses indicated that the words "urine", "embarrassment", "pee", "discomfort", "pain", "discomfort", "urine leakage", "infection", "bladder", "burning", "leakage", "fear", "wet", "problem" and "disease" were at the core of social representations about urinary incontinence. These terms were frequently mentioned and appeared primarily in the responses. In addition to the physical impact, urinary incontinence was associated with social isolation, anxiety and negative effects on sexual health.
conclusionUrinary incontinence affects several aspects of women's lives, imposing negative representations in both physical and emotional dimensions. This study highlighted the urgency of destigmatizing the condition and promoting more comprehensive care approaches that consider the complexities of these social representations.
