Uterine prolapse: a hidden tragedy of women in rural Nepal.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Uterine Prolapse (UP) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity among women in low-income countries like Nepal. More than 1 million women in Nepal suffer from this condition and most of them belong to the reproductive age. The cause and consequence for UP in Nepalese women is mainly gender discrimination. Early marriage, multiple births, lack of skilled birth attendants during delivery, continuous work throughout their pregnancies and soon after giving birth are the risk factors and causes of UP. It affects many aspects of a woman's quality of life, which ranges from physical discomfort, psychological, social and sexual lifestyle restrictions. Lack of knowledge of casual and preventative measures and perception of UP as normal phenomenon is the important barriers to access to treatment. Strong, effective and comprehensive strategies should address this underlying discrimination including socio-cultural discrimination, which could empower women to control their exposure to UP.
