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 hypothesisSexual dysfunction is a common yet often underrecognized concern among women with urinary incontinence (UI), a distressing condition that adversely affects quality of life and sexual well-being. While global data link UI with sexual dysfunction, evidence among Thai women remains scarce. This study aimed to determine its prevalence and associated factors in this population.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital between February 2024 and June 2025. Sexually active women aged ≥20 years with clinically diagnosed UI were enrolled. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires assessing demographics, UI characteristics (Urinary Distress Inventory-6 [UDI-6] and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form [ICIQ-UI SF]), and sexual function (Thai version of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA Revised [PISQ-IR]).

resultsOf 230 women recruited, 174 sexually active participants were analyzed (mean age 50.05 ± 8.31 years). Mixed UI was most common (78.16%), and moderate UI severity predominated (55.75%). The overall prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 37.93%. Women with sexual dysfunction were significantly older than those without (52.02 ± 7.07 vs. 48.9 ± 8.8 years; p = 0.016). Although UI type or severity was not independently associated with sexual dysfunction, mixed and severe UI were linked to lower scores in condition-specific, global quality, and condition-impact domains.

conclusionApproximately one-third of sexually active Thai women with urinary incontinence experience sexual dysfunction. Although incontinence type and severity were not associated with overall dysfunction, mixed and severe incontinence affected specific sexual function domains.
