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

backgroundUrinary incontinence is common amongst adults with an intellectual disability, yet there is a paucity of interventions to promote continence in this population. The aim was to test the feasibility of a toileting intervention with adults with an intellectual disability.

methodWe conducted a feasibility study. Seventeen adults with an intellectual disability and incontinence participated in a 12-week prompted voiding toileting support programme, which utilised wrist-worn toilet alarms and individual plans to prompt regular toilet visits for voiding.

resultsThirteen (77%) followed their toileting plan over the 12-week period with support, and 15 (88%) intended to continue with their plan beyond the study period.

conclusionPrompted toilet visits, which incorporate individual toileting plans and meaningful personal goals-setting, were found to be a feasible toileting intervention for the majority in the sample.
