1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 hypothesisThe objective was to determine the genetic variants associated with urinary incontinence subtypes using genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

methodsWe conducted a case-control study of women older than 18 with available genetic data and at least one International Classification of Diseases 10 urinary (stress, urge or mixed) incontinence diagnosis between May 2008 and May 2023. Controls had available genetic data with no urinary incontinence diagnosis. Demographic, health, and genomic data were obtained from our institution's electronic medical records and Biobank. Quality control measures applied to the raw data excluded variants with call rate < 95%, with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium exact p value < 1 × 10

resultsThe first GWAS run had 4270 cases with 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with mixed and 3 SNPs significantly associated with urgency incontinence (p < 5 × 10

conclusionOur study proposes possible new genetic associations in women diagnosed with mixed and stress urinary incontinence that should be validated across other studies.
