Reproducibility of intra-abdominal pressure measured during physical activities via a wireless vaginal transducer.
Article in Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
aimsIn the urodynamics laboratory setting, a wireless pressure transducer, developed to facilitate research exploring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and pelvic floor disorders, was highly accurate. We aimed to study reproducibility of IAP measured using this transducer in women during activities performed in an exercise science laboratory.
methodsFifty-seven women (mean ± SD, age 30.4 ±9.3 years; body mass index, 22.4 ± 2.68 kg/m) completed 2 standardized activity sessions using the same transducer at least 3 days apart. Pressure data for 31 activities were transmitted wirelessly to a base station and analyzed for mean net maximal IAP, area under the curve, and first moment of the area. Activities included typical exercises, lifting 13.6 to 18.2 kg, and simulated household tasks. Analysis for test-retest reliability included Bland-Altman plots with absolute limits of agreement, Wilcoxon signed rank tests to assess significant differences between sessions, intraclass correlations, and κ statistics to assess intersession agreement in highest versus other quintiles of maximal IAP.
resultsFew activities exhibited significant differences between sessions in maximal IAP, or in area under the curve and first moment of the area values. For 13 activities, the agreement between repeat measures of maximal IAP was better than ±10 cm H20; for 20 activities, better than ±15 cm H20. The absolute limits of agreement increased with mean IAP. The highest quintile of IAP demonstrated fair/substantial agreement between sessions in 25 of 30 activities.
conclusionsReproducibility of IAP depends on the activity undertaken. Interventions geared toward lowering IAP should account for this, maximize efforts to improve IAP reproducibility.
