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 hypothesisPatient satisfaction is a key indicator of the quality of care after urogynecological surgery. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Polish version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Satisfaction (ICIQ-S) among women after urinary incontinence (UI) and/or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery.
methodsThis was a multicenter, cross-sectional study including 283 women 6-12 months after surgery. Translation was performed according to ICIQ guidelines. Participants completed the ICIQ-S twice via telephone interviews to assess test-retest reliability. Construct validity was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and group comparisons. Concurrent validity was assessed through correlations with ICIQ lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), ICIQ female lower urinary tract symptoms (FLUTS), and the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20). Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
resultsThe six-item ICIQ-S core showed strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.913) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.958). CFA confirmed good construct validity (Comparative Fit Index = 0.985, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.967, Standardized Root Mean Squared Residual = 0.021). The ICIQ-S total score demonstrated a very strong negative correlation with PFDI-20 total score (r = -0.764) and moderate negative correlations with ICIQ-LUTS and ICIQ-FLUTS. Group comparisons showed significant differences in satisfaction between UI, POP, and POP + UI groups.
conclusionsThe Polish version of the ICIQ-S is a valid and reliable tool for assessing patient satisfaction after surgical treatment of UI and POP. It can be recommended for clinical practice and research to evaluate patient-centered outcomes in urogynecology.
