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.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisPelvic floor dysfunction is a common condition which can lead to distressing consequences such as urinary incontinence (UI), pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and fecal incontinence (FI). Pregnancy is a known major risk factor. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge about pelvic floor disorders among pregnant women in our local population.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of pregnant women in their third trimester. A 47-question questionnaire was distributed to a random sample group. Knowledge scores were calculated. Possible predictive factors for knowledge level such as age, ethnicity, parity, ethnicity and educational levels were studied.
resultsThirty-three out of 104 respondents (31.7%) reported history of urinary incontinence, 3 respondents (2.9%) reported sensation of prolapse, and 1 respondent (0.96%) reported fecal incontinence. The knowledge score for urinary incontinence was the highest at 46.2% and lowest in pelvic organ prolapse at 35.3%. Mean knowledge scores increased significantly with age (p = 0.021) and educational level (p = 0.046). The nulliparous women scored higher than the multiparous women. Age and educational level had a significant impact on multivariate analysis scores.
conclusionsThe knowledge on pelvic floor disorders is poor among our local pregnant women. Healthcare professionals should place increased emphasis on advocating pelvic floor exercises for pregnant women during their routine antenatal care.
