Educational Videos Were Not Superior to a Folder in Improving Urinary Incontinence Knowledge and Symptoms: A 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 hypothesisPelvic floor dysfunctions affect the physiology of continence and contribute to the onset of lower urinary tract symptoms. We aim to evaluate the effects of a video health education program Educa Mulher on knowledge, symptoms, and severity of urinary incontinence (UI) in incontinent women.
methodsA single-blinded, parallel-group randomized clinical trial with intention-to-treat analysis was conducted. Seventy-five incontinent women were randomly assigned to the experimental group (EG) or control group (CG). The Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Quiz (PIKQ-Br), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and Incontinence Severity Index (ISI) were used. Both groups received an educational folder about urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). The EG additionally received educational videos via WhatsApp twice weekly for 1 month. Videos addressed IU knowledge, pelvic floor function, risk factors, quality-of-life impact, treatment options, and PFMT. Within- and between-group differences and 95% confidence intervals were analyzed using linear mixed models with group, time, and group-by-time interaction terms.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 42.93 ± 10.33 years. At baseline, all participants presented with moderate UI, according to the ISI classification, as well as high levels of UI-related knowledge, as assessed by PIKQ-Br. No mean differences were observed in PIKQ-Br (95% CI -1.38 to 0.52), ICIQ-SF (95% CI -2.20 to 1.83), and ISI (95% CI -1.37; 0.89) scores.
conclusionA remote health education program combining WhatsApp-delivered educational videos and an educational folder did not demonstrate superior effectiveness, compared to the folder alone, in improving knowledge, urinary symptoms or severity.
