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

introduction and hypothesisSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can compromise the pelvic floor muscles, with the possible occurrence of urinary incontinence (UI). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of UI and associated factors in women with SLE.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted over 12 months in women with SLE. UI was assessed using the three Incontinence Questions (3IQ), severity using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), impact of urinary symptoms using the Urinary Impact Questionnaire (UIQ-7), quality of life (QoL) using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), and functional performance using the 30-s Sit-to-Stand (SIT) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed, and factors associated with urinary incontinence (UI) were investigated using Poisson regression with robust variance, with prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.

resultsA total of 231 women (age 47 ± 12 years) were included. UI was identified in 52% (95% CI 46.0-58.7) of the participants. In the bivariate analysis, UI was associated with age, paid employment, family income, and some clinical and obstetric characteristics. In the final multivariate Poisson regression model, lower physical and mental health scores were associated with UI (PCS PR 0.99; 95% CI 0.97-1.00; p = 0.024; MCS PR 0.99; 95% CI 0.97-1.00; p = 0.033).

conclusionsUI was present in more than half of the women with SLE and was associated with worse QoL.
