Epidemiological trends and future care needs for pelvic floor disorders.
Review in Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 104 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
purpose of reviewWe sought to provide a review of the recent literature regarding the prevalence and epidemiological trends in pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) including pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence. We also examined the current trends in surgical treatment for these disorders and discuss future care needs. RECENT
findingsApproximately, one quarter of all women suffer from at least one or more PFDs. Urinary incontinence represents the most common PFD with an estimated prevalence of 15-17%, whereas fecal incontinence affects, approximately, 9% of adult women. POP is more difficult to assess with prevalence estimates ranging from 3 to 8%. Surgery for PFDs is common as 20% of women undergo stress urinary incontinence or POP surgery over their lifetime. As the aging population grows, the number of women with PFDs will increase substantially and the demand for care for these disorders will continue to grow through the year 2050. SUMMARY: PFDs are a significant public health issue and they negatively impact the lives of millions of adult women. The projected increase in the number of women affected by PFDs over the next 40 years will create increased demand for providers properly trained in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery.
