Prevalence and Risk Factors of Urinary Incontinence After Successful Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair.

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 Residual urinary incontinence (UI) following anatomically successful vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair remains a major postoperative challenge, often compromising quality of life despite surgical closure. Persistent UI arises from a combination of anatomical, obstetric, and sociodemographic influences, which differ across patient populations. Objective The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and identify the risk factors associated with UI after successful VVF repair. Methods This descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit-II, Isra University Hospital, Hyderabad, over 12 months (August 2021 to August 2022). Ninety women who underwent anatomically successful VVF repair were enrolled using nonprobability consecutive sampling. Data regarding demographic, obstetric, and fistula-related variables were collected. Bivariate, stratified, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. Continuous variables were summarized as mean ± SD or median (IQR), and categorical variables as n (%). A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The mean age of participants was 37.04 ± 6.79 years, and the mean BMI was 22.25 ± 2.13 kg/m². Most women were from rural areas (77.8%), illiterate (61.1%), and of low socioeconomic status (73.3%). Postoperative UI occurred in seven (7.78%) women. Among evaluated factors, only fistula type showed a significant association (
