Can pelvic floor dysfunction after vaginal birth be prevented?
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04431102 (The Effects of the Pilates Method on Pelvic Floor Injuries During Pregnancy and Childbirth), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisSignificant breakthroughs in our understanding of pelvic floor dysfunction have occurred in the past two decades. The next step is to translate this understanding into effective preventative and early intervention strategies to minimize maternal morbidity from vaginal birth. We have learned enough to chart a course toward prevention.
methodsThis article outlines some major advances in understanding the pathophysiology of pelvic floor dysfunction and suggests strategies for future prevention research.
resultsVaginal birth is the primary risk factor for the development of pelvic floor disorders and this is compounded by forceps use. Age, race, and genetics are also risk factors. Steps to prevent or minimize the development of pelvic floor problems include moderating forceps use and utilizing risk assessment tools to offer cesarean delivery to those at greatest risk.
conclusionThese actions would represent one giant step forward in advancing the practice of obstetrics into the modern age of personalized medicine.
