Factors Associated with Urinary Incontinence During Pregnancy: Clinical, Obstetric, and Metabolic Analysis.

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 hypothesisIn addition to biomechanical changes, metabolic alterations, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), may contribute to the development of pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary incontinence (UI). Despite the high prevalence of UI during pregnancy, important gaps in the literature still exist. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the association between clinical, obstetric, and metabolic factors and the presence of UI in pregnant women.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 417 high-risk pregnant women. The volunteers were divided into a group of women with GDM (G-GDM: n = 217) and pregnant women without GDM (G-ND: n = 200). The presence and severity of UI were evaluated using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Clinical, obstetric, and metabolic variables were analyzed by multiple logistic regression, statistical significance was set at 5% (p < 0.05).
resultsNo significant differences were observed between the groups regarding the frequency and severity of UI (p = 0.36). Multiparity was the only independently associated predictor of UI, indicating that each additional pregnancy increases the probability of occurrence by approximately 20% (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.03-1.41; p = 0.02). GDM was not significantly associated with UI (OR 1.46; 95% CI 0.96-2.25; p = 0.08).
conclusionThe findings suggest that the biomechanical changes resulting from successive pregnancies appear to be more strongly associated with UI than the influence of GDM. Screening, prevention, and treatment strategies for UI should prioritize multiparous women, aiming to preserve pelvic floor function.
