Psychological and Psychiatric Issues in Functional Constipation, Fecal Incontinence and Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction-A Revised and Updated Document of the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS).
Review in Neurourology and urodynamics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe aim is to provide an updated and revised overview of psychological and psychiatric aspects of fecal incontinence (FI), functional constipation (FC), non-retentive FI (NRFI) and bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD). Clinical behavioral disorders and subclinical psychological symptoms are reviewed. Aspects of screening, assessment, counseling, and in severe cases, treatment are outlined and recommendations are formulated.
methodsRelevant publications on psychological and psychiatric aspects are reviewed. The recommendations passed several rounds of consensus finding and were circulated among ICCS board members.
resultsIn addition to subclinical effects on self-esteem, quality of life, and stress, the rate of comorbid psychiatric disorders is increased. 30%-50% with FI, FC, and NRFI fulfill the criteria for clinically relevant psychiatric disorders. A special risk group is children with BBD. The concomitant psychiatric disturbances include externalizing, internalizing, and neurodevelopmental disorders. They require assessment and counseling, in severe cases, treatment. They have a negative effect on compliance and outcome if not addressed and left untreated. RECOMMENDATIONS: Because the comorbidity rate is high, screening for psychological symptoms is recommended for all children in all settings with FI, FC, FNRFI and BBD. In addition to clinical observation, exploration and history, standardized, validated broadband behavioral questionnaires are recommended. If problem items in the clinical range are present, a full child psychiatric or psychological assessment is recommended.
