Fear of falling, gait capacity, and dual task performance in multiple sclerosis patients with and without neurogenic overactive bladder.

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
backgroundOveractive bladder (OAB) symptoms significantly affect the independence and quality of life in patient with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) by limiting daily activities. This study aimed to explore differences in fear of falling (FoF), gait, dual-task performance, and self-perceived impact of disease among PwMS with and without OAB.
methodParticipants were divided into two groups based on their Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-V8) scores: OAB (score ≥ 8) and non-OAB (score < 8). Assessments included the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) for FoF, the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) for gait capacity, the Dual-Task Questionnaire (DTQ) for dual-task performance, and the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) for self-perceived impact of disease.
resultsThe study included 78 PwMS. Significant differences were found between groups in fall history, number of falls, and all outcome measures (OAB-V8, FES-I, DTQ, 2MWT, MSIS-29; p < 0.001). OAB-V8 scores positively correlated with FES-I, DTQ, and MSIS-29 (r = 0.71-0.78, p < 0.001) and negatively with 2MWT (r = -0.38, p < 0.001). Similar patterns were observed between FES-I, DTQ, and MSIS-29, which showed strong positive correlations, while both negatively correlated with 2MWT.
conclusionPwMS with OAB exhibit higher FoF, poorer gait, and impaired dual-task performance compared to those without OAB. These findings highlight the significant impact of OAB on functional and disease-related outcomes.
