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

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a highly prevalent health problem among postmenopausal women ending in silent suffering. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the feasibility and effect of tailored, Evidence-based nursing intervention on severity of UI symptoms. Quasi experimental time series repeated measures design was used. Two old age homes were randomly assigned for an interventional and control setting. Ten post-menopausal women, selected by non-randomized purposive sampling from each setting were assigned to an interventional (n=10) and control group (n=10) respectively. The severity of Urinary incontinence in both groups was assessed using International Consultation on Incontinence (ICIQ -UI SF) questionnaire. The interventional group women received the nursing intervention for 12 weeks, whereas the control group continued to receive the usual care. The severity of urinary Incontinence was assessed at the end of 4th, 8th and 12th weeks. Repeated measures ANOVA of pre-test and post-test-III scores in Interventional group (F= 18.46, P ≤ 0.001) was significant. In control group, there was no significant difference (F = 1.47, P ≥ 0.05).
