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: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition affecting women, particularly during pregnancy, due to physiological and birth-related factors. Despite its prevalence, awareness and understanding of UI among pregnant women in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, remain limited. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the prevalence of UI and its associated risk factors at King Abdulaziz University Hospital. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional observational study conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, assessing the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its risk factors among pregnant women using a structured questionnaire. Data were cleaned in Excel and analyzed using IBM SPSS 29.0.0. Results: In a study of 411 pregnant women from the Makkah region, 159 (38.7%) experienced UI during pregnancy. UI prevalence was significantly associated with being aged 25-34 years, having a university education, and being of normal weight, with all groups showing higher incidence rates ( Conclusion: Our study highlights the significant prevalence of UI among pregnant women and its association with key demographic, obstetric, and lifestyle factors. Identifying risk factors such as gestational age, BMI, and delivery history underscores the need for early screening, education, and targeted interventions to improve maternal health and pregnancy outcomes.
