1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Pelvic organ prolapse is the downward descent of the pelvic floor organs and has a prevalence of 3%-6% and can even reach to 50% if defined by a vaginal examination. The anatomical concepts of pelvic diaphragm, lateral attachment of vagina to arcus tendineus fascia pelvis, and intrinsic and extrinsic sphincter control mechanisms are elaborated. The anatomic and physiological mechanisms of autonomic and voluntary control of continence are discussed. The clinical and urodynamic tests and their implications in guiding the management are explained. Finally, uroflowmetry, cystometry, urethral pressure profile, postvoid urine measurement, leak point pressure (LPP) test, video urodynamic tests, and electromyography studies of pelvic floor are discussed as an integral part of the assessment.
