Mapping the Conversation: A Network Analysis of World Continence Week on Twitter/X.
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 hypothesisFemale urinary incontinence affects over 60% of women globally. Despite its prevalence, social stigma limits public discussions. World Continence Week (WCW) June 17-23, 2024, aimed to increase awareness using coordinated social media campaigns. We aimed to evaluate the impact of official hashtags and campaigns during WCW on public engagement on Twitter/X.
methodsWe searched the posts containing official WCW hashtags (#CommitmentToCollaborationIncontinenceCare, #WCW2024, #ContinenceMatters, and #SupportIncontinence) and additional hashtags (#incontinence, #femaleincontinence, and #UrinaryIncontinence) collected from June 10 to June 30, 2024, covering WCW, using NodeXL Pro drawing upon social network analysis. User interactions, geographic distribution, hashtag usage, and key influencers were identified in our analysis. Our study drew upon the Clauset-Newman-Moore clustering and betweenness centrality algorithms.
resultsOur analysis included 20,000 posts and accumulated 861,591 interactions. The network included 317 users, with medical organizations, healthcare professionals, and patient groups dominating the conversation. Official WCW accounts had the highest influence, while active news outlets amplified reach. Shared URLs were from reputable medical institutions. The use of official hashtags showed widespread alignment on campaign themes.
conclusionsWCW 2024's social media strategy effectively raised incontinence awareness, highlighting the importance of coordinated digital campaigns for destigmatizing women's health issues.
