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 hypothesisCondition-specific sexual questionnaires are important patient-reported outcome measures. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-International Urogynecology Association Revised (PISQ-IR) into Dutch.

methodsThe translated PISQ-IR was linguistically validated, followed by psychometrical validation among women presenting with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction in urogynecology clinics. For analysis of the criterion validity, the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were used. Descriptive statistics, floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Pearson's and Spearman's correlations were calculated for all PISQ-IR subscales.

resultsThe PISQ-IR was completed by 220 women, of whom 61 (27.7%) considered themselves not sexually active (NSA) and 159 (72.3%) sexually active (SA). The mean age of participating women was 57 years; 49.5% reported symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), 66.8% urinary incontinence and 2.3% anal incontinence. The PISQ-IR subscales were analyzed separately for SA and NSA women with Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranging from 0.61 to 0.87. Moderate to high correlations were observed between PISQ-IR subscales and corresponding FSFI subscales and a moderate correlation between urinary distress and the condition impact (CI) subscale among NSA subjects.

conclusionsThe Dutch PISQ-IR demonstrated a good internal consistency and criterion validity compared with the FSFI, but criterion validity compared with the PFDI-20 was poor except for urinary distress in NSA women and needs further attention.
