An observational follow-up study on pelvic floor disorders to 3-5 years after delivery.
Observational study in International urogynecology journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03194789 (The Effect of Footwear Generated Biomechanical Manipulation on Symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 4 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
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 hypothesisThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI), fecal incontinence (FI), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) 3-5 years after the first pregnancy and their associated risk factors.
methodsWe assessed 506 women using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ). Maternal characteristics and obstetric data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, independent sample t test, chi-squared test, and logistic regression.
resultsThe prevalence of UI, FI, and POP, respectively, at a mean of 43 months after first delivery was 40.8, 6.6, and 10.2% following vaginal delivery (VD) and 22.7, 4.5, and 4.5% following cesarean section (CS). Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was reported by more women following VD than CS (38.7 vs 22.4%, P = 0.010). Compared with 8 weeks' postpartum, more women reported SUI at this later follow-up visit (40.1 vs 19.5%, P < 0.001), but fewer reported FI. More women who had an instrumental delivery reported symptoms of POP compared with those who had a normal VD. Higher body weight and weight gain from first trimester were risk factors of SUI [odds ratio (OR) 1.03] and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) (OR 1.18), respectively. Women who delivered vaginally had higher PFDI subscales scores.
conclusionsVD increased UI risk. Higher body weight and weight gain from first trimester were risk factors for SUI and UUI, respectively. More women reported symptoms of POP following an instrumental delivery than those who had a normal VD.
