Pelvic organ prolapse: prevalence and risk factors in a Brazilian population.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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
introduction and hypothesisAlthough pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition among Brazilians, population-based epidemiological studies of POP are scarce. We studied POP in a population of women undergoing routine examination to determine its prevalence, distribution and relationship to risk factors.
methodsThis quantitative descriptive study surveyed 432 women, based on prolapse prevalence, who sought routine care and were assessed for prolapse staging using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system (POP-Q). Demographics, health history, socioeconomic data, symptoms and risk factors for prolapse were self-reported by the participants.
resultsA total of 226 (52.3%) of the examined women had POP. The prevalences of POP in relation to stage were as follows: stage 1 (27.8%), stage 2 (23.1%), and stage 3 (1.4%). Regarding risk factors, a history of vaginal delivery (odds ratio, OR, 6.678, 95% confidence interval, CI, 4.16-10.73), delivery of a newborn heavier than 4 kg (OR 2.056, 95% CI 1.19-3.56) and menopausal status (OR 2.793, 95% CI 1.66-4.70) were all associated with a higher risk of prolapse.
conclusionsWe found that a majority of the population sample exhibited some degree of prolapse, suggesting that POP deserves substantial clinical attention. The risk factors identified suggest that eventual prolapse may be unavoidable in some women. Public policies should be implemented with respect to modifiable risk factors and antenatal care.
