What Pad Weight Gain During Treadmill Running Indicates Urine Leakage Among Females? An Observational Study.
Observational study in International urogynecology journal, 2025. 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
introductionPad tests have been used to assess urinary incontinence (UI) during exercise, but they do not account for confounding factors such as perspiration. The objectives of this study were to describe pad weight gain among runners with and without running-induced stress UI (RI-SUI), who complete a standardized treadmill-based pad test, and to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of pad weight gain as a measure of urine leakage.
methodsThis was an observational cohort study. We recruited adult female runners with and without RI-SUI. Participants performed a 38-min treadmill-based running protocol while wearing a pre-weighted incontinence pad. Pad weight gain was described by group, then compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U test. A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of different cutoff values for pad weight gain.
resultsData from 74 runners (20 with and 54 without RI-SUI) were included. The median pad weight gain was significantly higher in the incontinent group (24.20 g; range 3.90-166.30 g) than in the continent group (3.80 g; range 0.20-19.96 g; p < 0.001). When using a 9.35 g cutoff, the ROC curve predicted urine leakage with 70% sensitivity and 88% specificity, while a 0.25 g cutoff would achieve 100% sensitivity and 19.98 g would achieve 100% specificity.
conclusionPad weight gain during a treadmill-based pad test should be interpreted cautiously, as values up to 19.96 g may result from perspiration or other fluids.
