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 hypothesisThis study is aimed at identifying the risk factors for de novo urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 350 pregnant women attending prenatal clinics at a tertiary care center. Women with a history of UI or lower urinary tract disorders were excluded. Data collection included demographics, obstetric history, ultrasound assessments (detrusor thickness, uterocervical angle), and laboratory parameters. UI was diagnosed using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors.

resultsDe novo UI was reported by 21.4% (n = 75) of participants. Women in the UI group had higher body mass index (28.1 ± 4.0 kg/m

conclusionsIncreased detrusor thickness and decreased uterocervical angle during pregnancy are associated with the development of de novo UI. Incorporating these anatomical parameters into routine prenatal ultrasound assessments may facilitate early identification of at-risk women and allow for the implementation of preventive strategies.
