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

introduction and hypothesisThe aim of this study was to develop a Polish language version of the short form of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) and to validate it in a sample of Polish-speaking women with pelvic floor disorders (PFDs).

methodsThe PFDI-20 was initially translated in a stepwise fashion as guided by the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Translation Protocol. After initial forward translation from English to Polish, a community review process consisting of cognitive interviews and confirmation via back translation was performed. The final Polish version of the PFDI-20 was administered to Polish-speaking patients presenting with PFDs at university-based urogynecology clinics in Poland and the United States, along with a Polish version of the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Internal consistency and criterion validity were assessed. Test-retest reliability was assessed in 100 patients after 2 weeks.

resultsA total of 254 women with PFDs enrolled in this multicenter study. Complete data from 44 Polish-speaking women in the United States and 200 women in Poland were analyzed. Participants had a mean age of 60.3 ± 11.2 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 27.6 ± 4.7. Internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha was good (0.89). Criterion validity was adequate between responses on the KHQ and PFDI-20 with Pearson correlations in particular domains (0.27-0.50, P < 0.05). Excellent test-retest reliability was demonstrated by intraclass correlation using a two-way mixed-effects model with absolute agreement (0.87).

conclusionsThe Polish version of the PFDI is a reliable tool for evaluating pelvic floor symptoms in Polish-speaking women with PFDs.
