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
objectiveThis study aims to examine the relationship between the severity of urinary incontinence and levels of social appearance anxiety, hopelessness, and depression in women.
methodsA total of 393 women participated in this descriptive and correlational study. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
resultsOf the participants, 46.3% reported moderate social appearance anxiety, while 25.2% had severe depression. The mean BHS score was 8.80 ± 5.63. No significant correlation was found between the severity of incontinence and social appearance anxiety (p > 0.05). A strong positive correlation was observed between the BDI and BHS scores (p < 0.001). A one-unit increase in age was associated with a 0.172 (B) increase in incontinence severity, and a one-unit increase in BDI score was linked to a 0.137 (B) increase in incontinence severity.
conclusionsThe results suggest that increasing age is associated with greater severity of urinary incontinence. Higher incontinence severity is also correlated with higher levels of hopelessness and depression. The psychological impact of urinary incontinence on women's mental health should be addressed, and referrals to psychiatric care should be considered when necessary for a comprehensive treatment approach.
