Investigation of Electromyographic Activity of Pelvic Floor Muscles in Different Body Positions to Prevent Urinary Incontinence.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine whether trunk stability muscles co-contract with body position as a factor of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-one healthy adults without pelvic floor dysfunction were examined for pelvic floor and trunk stability muscle activity in 4 body positions (ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion in standing position, and ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion in long sitting position). The activities of the PFMs via anal/vaginal probes, internal oblique (IO), multifidus (MF), tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius muscles were measured by surface electromyography. Three-dimensional motion analysis measured the movement of the pelvis in real time according to the change in body position. RESULTS There was a significant increase in PFM activity from the ankle neutral position while standing for both ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion in standing position (p<0.05). In maximal contraction of PFM in the standing position, IO and MF were found to co-activate (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In standing position, the ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion positions activated PFMs, which was found to co-activate with trunk stability muscles. Pelvic floor training programs based on the results of this study may be helpful in patients with incontinence.
