The Relationship Between Intra-Abdominal Pressure and Body Acceleration During Exercise.
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. It is linked to trial NCT06709924 (Evaluating Effectiveness of Elevated Intra-abdominal Pressure), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesHigh intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) may influence the development of pelvic floor disorders. We and others have used intravaginal pressure transducers to measure IAP in women during exercise and daily activities, but utilizing the transducer for long-term measurements creates compliance issues. Waist-worn accelerometers are prominent in research and may be a reliable alternative for approximating IAP. We hypothesized that there are pair-wise positive correlations between the mean maximal accelerometer vector magnitude and 2 IAP measurements: mean maximal IAP and area under the curve (AUC).
methodsTwenty-five women who regularly participated in exercise performed 13 activities. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured with an intravaginal transducer and acceleration with a waist-worn accelerometer. We determined the mean maximal IAP, AUC for IAP, and mean maximal accelerometer vector magnitude for each activity and participant. The relationship between IAP and acceleration was determined by computing the Pearson correlation coefficient (R) and the 95% confidence interval for mean maximal accelerometer vector magnitude versus mean maximal IAP and mean maximal accelerometer vector magnitude versus AUC for IAP.
resultsThe R values were 0.7353 for mean maximal accelerometer vector magnitude versus mean maximal IAP (including walking) and 0.5059 for mean maximal accelerometer vector magnitude versus AUC for IAP (excluding walking). Walking at 3 speeds, analyzed separately, presented R values of 0.72208 for mean maximal IAP and 0.21678 for AUC.
conclusionWaist-worn accelerometers may provide a viable method for approximating mean maximal IAP in a population of women during most activities.
