1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 hypothesisUrinary incontinence (UI) is a common chronic condition in middle-aged and older women, linked to various physical and psychological health issues. High psychological need frustration (PNF) may compromise UI patients' autonomy and motivation in pursuing health goals, preventing effective self-management. This study aimed to explore the determinants of PNF among UI patients amid global aging.

methodsA convenience sample of 170 middle-aged and older women was recruited from a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen between January and April 2025. Participants completed standardized questionnaires, including a general information questionnaire, psychological need frustration scale for physical activity (PNFS-PA), the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICI-Q-SF), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Data were analyzed using t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression.

resultsFindings revealed that most patients exhibited mild-to-moderate UI severity and moderate levels of PNF. PNF demonstrated a positive association with UI severity and negative correlations with physical activity and life satisfaction; however, the effect sizes associated with physical activity was relatively small. Multiple linear regression analysis identified educational level, family residence, UI severity, physical activity levels, and life satisfaction as statistically significant predictors of PNF.

conclusionsThe PNF of middle-aged and older women with UI is at a moderate level. Educational level, family residence, UI severity, physical activity levels, and life satisfaction are the factors influencing the PNF of UI patients.
