The Relationship Between Urinary Incontinence, Physical Performance, and Physical Activity Levels in Women with Low Back Pain.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 hypothesisLow back pain may play a contributing role in the emergence or worsening of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, by affecting neuromuscular control and pelvic stability. This study aimed to examine the relationship between SUI, musculoskeletal performance, and physical activity level (PAL) in women with nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) by comparing them with a healthy control group.
methodsOne hundred fifty-two women were assigned to either the healthy control (no NSLBP) group (n = 76) or the NSLBP group (n = 76). Pain severity was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the severity of SUI was detected using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short-Form (ICIQ-SF), musculoskeletal performance was measured using the trunk flexor endurance test (TFET), wall sit-hold test (WSHT), 3-minute burpee test (3-MBT), and sit and reach test (SRT), respectively. International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Long Form (IPAQ-LF) assessed the PAL. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare groups, and Spearman correlation analysis determined the intra-group correlation levels.
resultsThe NSLBP group had significantly higher ICIQ-SF, lower TFET, 3-MBT, and SRT scores (p = 0.016). In the healthy control group, ICIQ-SF was not associated with any musculoskeletal performance test parameters and IPAQ-LF (p > 0.05). While a significant positive correlation was found between IPAQ-LF and VAS during activity (r = 0.266, p = 0.020), ICIQ-SF had a negative correlation with TFET (r = -0.308, p = 0.007), 3-MBT (r = -0.320, p = 0.005), and IPAQ-LF (r = -0.298, p = 0.009) in the NSLBP group.
conclusionsAs NSLBP gets worse, SUI complaints increase. Trunk flexor muscle endurance, agility, and physical activity levels decrease as the severity of SUI increases in women with NSLBP.
