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

purposeTo investigate factors associated with quality of life (QoL) among women with urinary incontinence (UI) in a large, population-based sample.

methods9,974 women aged ≥ 20 years with UI from a national survey conducted between September 2019 and December 2021 using multistage, stratified, cluster sampling. UI severity was assessed using International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), and QoL was evaluated using Incontinence Impact Questionnaire Short Form (IIQ-7). Women were categorized into good or poor QoL groups. Logistic regression was used to examine associations between potential risk factors and QoL, estimating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsMost women had slight UI symptoms (91.5%) and reported good QoL (73.8%). Risk factors for poor QoL included urgency UI (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.65-2.35), mixed UI (OR = 3.39, 95% CI: 3.05-3.79), moderate (OR = 3.97, 95% CI: 3.30-4.77) or severe UI (OR = 11.62, 95% CI: 8.17-16.52), advanced age (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.14-1.48), minority ethnicity (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.03-1.51), smoking (OR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.25-2.41), chronic constipation (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.10-1.48), chronic cough (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.68-2.39), and cerebrovascular disease (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.16-1.94). Protective factors included urban residence (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.51-0.64) and pelvic surgery (OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.50-0.66).

conclusionsQoL among women with UI is associated with UI subtype, severity, and various clinical and sociodemographic factors. Addressing modifiable risk factors may help improve QoL in Chinese population.
