From Podium to Publication: the Fate of Abstracts Presented at ICS and IUGA/AUGS 2022.
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 hypothesisConference presentations are a cornerstone of academic dissemination, yet the proportion of abstracts that reach full-text publication varies. Limited data exist on publication outcomes from major Urogynecology conferences. This study was aimed at comparing publication rates of abstracts presented at the 2022 International Continence Society (ICS) and International Urogynecological Association/American Urogynecologic Society (IUGA/AUGS) meetings.
methodsAbstracts from the ICS (oral presentations only) and IUGA/AUGS (oral and poster presentations) 2022 conferences were reviewed. A systematic PubMed search (January 2022-August 2024) was conducted to identify corresponding peer-reviewed publications. Abstracts were considered published if a full-text article with substantial overlap in study design and authorship was identified. Two reviewers independently confirmed publication status, with a third reviewer resolving discrepancies. Publication characteristics and author counts were recorded. Chi-squared and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for statistical comparisons.
resultsAmong 788 abstracts (ICS: 300; IUGA/AUGS: 488), a total of 291 (36.9%) were published. Publication rates were similar for oral presentations at ICS and IUGA/AUGS (41.0% vs 42.4%, p = 0.80). Within the IUGA/AUGS, oral presentations were significantly more likely to be published than posters (42.4% vs 26.0%, p < 0.001). Published abstracts had more authors than unpublished ones (median 6 vs 5, p < 0.001). Over half of publications appeared in three journals: Urogynecology, International Urogynecology Journal, and Neurourology and Urodynamics. In multivariable analysis, oral presentations and higher author count independently predicted publication, whereas the conference was not a significant factor.
conclusionsMore than one-third of abstracts progressed to publication, with oral presentations and higher author counts associated with increased publication rates. These findings underscore the enduring academic value of conference research and suggest that structured post-conference support might help to translate more abstracts into high-impact publications.
