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
backgroundUrinary stress incontinence leads to a decrease in the quality of life of women. Pender's health promotion model discusses how to change one's lifestyle. In some populations, adopting the Pender model and lifestyle improvements have improved people's quality of life. However, limited studies have been conducted on improving the quality of life of people with stress urinary incontinence using models. In this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of group counseling based on the Pender Health Promotion Model on the quality of life of women with stress urinary incontinence.
methodsThis study is a randomized controlled clinical trial. Seventy women were selected using available methods and then randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups using permutation blocks. Sampling was conducted at two pelvic floor disease specialty clinics, Qaim Hospital and Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad from May 2022 to September 2022. The intervention group received six group counseling sessions and one individual counseling session based on the configurations of Pender's health promotion model. Data development tools included the Demographic Questionnaire, the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire for Patients with Urinary Incontinence (IQOL), the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID), and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS21). The tool’s validity was confirmed by content validity and reliability using the Cronbach alpha method. In both groups, questionnaires were completed before and immediately two months after the intervention ended. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software.
resultsBefore the intervention, there was no significant difference in the two groups' average total score on the quality of life questionnaires (P = 0.945). However, there was a substantial increase in the intervention group's quality of life questionnaires compared to the pre-intervention and control groups immediately following the intervention and over the next two months (P < 0.001).
conclusionGroup counseling based on the Pender's health promotion model improves the quality of life of women with stress urine incontinence, and it is recommended that this model be used.
