Creation and Validation of a Comprehensive Instrument to Assess UI in Female Athletes and Active Women.
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 hypothesesA variety of instruments have been used to measure UI in studies about athletic UI (AUI). However, few studies used instruments with questions about bowel, bladder, and sexual habits. A more comprehensive screening tool has been developed: the Active Women Incontinence Screening Tool (AWIST). The purposes of this study were to identify gaps left by prior UI instruments, describe attributes of the AWIST previously excluded by UI screening tools, and evaluate validity and reliability of the AWIST.
methodsKey concepts were identified using a comparative analysis of 17 instruments used across 92 AUI studies. We used the Delphi method to validate the content of the AWIST, which involved two phases of review by eight experts. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was assessed at the item (I-CVI) and the scale (S-CVI) levels, where consensus among all selected items was determined using a modified Kappa statistic (K*) set at
resultsIn the first phase, the AWIST demonstrated a mean relevance score of 3.67 (σ = 0.61, range 2-4; mean I-CVI 0.98, σ = 0.07). In the second phase, the AWIST had a main relevance score of 3.67 (σ = 0.57, range 2-4; mean I-CVI 0.99, σ = 0.05). The S-CVI/UA was 0.95 and the S-CVI-Ave was 0.99.
conclusionThe AWIST is a comprehensive, validated screening tool created to evaluate key factors of AUI in women. Branching logic makes it equally useful for assessing nonathletic women. The AWIST is equally appropriate for research and clinical use.
