An epidemiologic study of pelvic organ prolapse in rural Chinese women: a population-based sample in China.

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
introduction and hypothesisWe aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in rural China.
methodsA cross-sectional study of POP was conducted in rural China from February 2014 to March 2016. In total, 25,864 rural women were recruited. All were asked to complete a questionnaire that included questions about their age, job, parity, diseases, and so on. Symptomatic POP was assessed using Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system staging and validation questionnaires. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the factors associated with symptomatic POP.
resultsThe prevalence of symptomatic POP was 9.10%. There was a consistent trend toward an increasing prevalence of POP with increasing age, ranging from 2.53 to 13.40% (P < 0.0001). Women aged 50-59 years [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.46-2.37] were more likely to have POP than women aged 20-29 years. POP was positively associated with giving birth to more than three children (AOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.88-2.43). Cesarean section was a significant protective factor (AOR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.33-0.49) compared with vaginal delivery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that obesity, constipation, smoking, coughing, gynecological diseases, and other physical diseases were also associated with POP.
conclusionsSymptomatic POP affects a substantial proportion of women in rural China. Older age, multiparity, vaginal delivery, obesity, and many chronic conditions significantly increased the odds of developing symptomatic POP. Additional healthcare campaigns are needed to educate women in rural areas about POP.
