Comfort Theory-Based Nursing Interventions in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 hypothesisThis study evaluated the effectiveness of Comfort Theory-based nursing interventions on urinary incontinence (UI) severity, quality of life and comfort among women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It was hypothesised that such interventions would positively affect (H
methodsA randomised controlled design was used with 40 women (intervention 20, control 20) recruited from the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The intervention group participated in a 6-week Comfort Theory-based program including pelvic floor-focused yoga, breathing exercises and meditation, whereas the control group received routine treatment. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QOL) and Urinary Incontinence and Frequency Comfort Scale.
resultsAfter the intervention, ISI scores were significantly higher in the control group (p = 0.001; 95% confidence interval [CI] -7 to -2; Rank Biserial Correlation 0.573), indicating a greater reduction in incontinence severity among the intervention group. Behavioral Limitation and Psychological subscale scores of the I-QOL were significantly higher in the intervention group (p = 0.009, 95% CI 2-13, Rank Biserial Correlation -0.480; and p = 0.017, 95% CI 1-14, Rank Biserial Correlation -0.440). Median comfort scores were also higher in the intervention group (4.79 [4.38-5.13]) than in the control group (4.11 [3.29-4.82]).
conclusionsComfort Theory-based nursing interventions incorporating yoga, breathing and meditation decreased incontinence severity and improved quality of life and comfort among women with SUI. This holistic, low-cost approach provides a sustainable strategy for UI management.
