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

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common complaint among middle-aged and older women, associated with many negative impacts in health. The aim of this study was to analyze whether an association exists between UI and sarcopenic obesity (SO) among middle-aged and older women living in northeastern Brazil. The association of UI with sarcopenia or obesity alone was also assessed. Methods: In a cross-sectional, analytical study, 531 women living in Santa Cruz and Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte state (Brazil), aged between 40 and 80 years, were assessed for the presence of UI in the last 12 months by self-reporting. Waist circumference equal to or greater than 88 cm was considered to classify obesity, while skeletal muscle mass below 5.93 kg/m Results: A total of 10.7% had no sarcopenia or obesity, 10.7% had only sarcopenia, 69.7% had only obesity and 8.9% had SO. Obesity alone was associated with a higher odss of UI compared to the group with neither conditions (OR = 1.95; Conclusion: Obesity alone was associated with UI. The results highlight the need for screening UI symptoms among women with abdominal obesity for early detection and timely interventions.
