Effects of two nonpharmacological treatments on the sleep quality of women with nocturia: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in International urogynecology journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07635251 (A Novel Wearable Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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 hypothesisThe objective was to check the effects of two nonpharmacological treatments on the sleep quality of women with nocturia.
methodsA randomized controlled clinical trial in which 40 women with nocturia were randomized into two groups; one was subjected to tibial nerve stimulation (GTNS) and the other received pelvic floor muscle training associated with behavioral therapy (GPFMT). Both groups were followed for 12 weeks, with one session/week; evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), King's Heath Questionnaire (KHQ), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The Wilcoxon test was used to compare intra-group data and the Mann-Whitney test for intergroup results. Effect size and confidence interval were calculated, and the level of significance was set at 5%.
resultsBoth groups showed improvements in quality of sleep, observed by the PSQI total score (GTNS from 9 ± 0.88 to 7 ± 0.94, p = 0.002; GPFMT from 8 ± 0.80 to 5 ± 0.94, p < 0.001) and the sleep/energy domain of the KHQ (GTNS from 66.66 ± 9.03 to 16.66 ± 7.20, p = 0.002; GPFMT from 66.66 ± 9.30 to 0.00 ± 7.26, p = 0.001).
conclusionsBoth nonpharmacological treatments proposed (TNS or PFMT) were equally able to improve quality of sleep of women with nocturia.
