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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between anticholinergic drug burden and clinical frailty in patients with urinary incontinence.
methodsThis prospective cross-sectional study included 197 patients who were aged ≥60 years old and admitted to Family Medicine and Urology Departments of Kırıkkale Faculty of Medicine between May 2024 and August 2024. Anticholinergic burden was calculated using anticholinergic burden calculator, frailty was assessed using the clinical frailty scale, and these patients were assigned a frailty score ranging from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill).
resultsThe mean age of the 197 participants in our study was 67.71±6.85 and 92 (46.7%) were female. The mean anticholinergic burden score was 2.43±1.77 and clinical frailty scale score was 4.75±1.05. There was a statistically significant difference between age groups, gender, marital status, educational status, anticholinergic burden status, and clinical frailty scale score (p<0.001, p=0.001, p=0.033, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). There was also a statistically significant distance between age groups, gender, marital status, educational status, and anticholinergic aurden score (p=0.001, p=0.023, p=0.013, p=0.042, respectively). A strong, positive, and significant correlation was found between anticholinergic burden and frailty (r=0.728, p<0.01).
conclusionThe findings of this study highlighted that it is useful to evaluate the anticholinergic burden and reconsider treatment options when prescribing to elderly patients with urinary incontinence.
