Trial report in International urogynecology journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05154006 (Promoting Self-efficacy and Social Support to Enable Women to Reduce the Risks of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Related to Heavy Lifting in a Non-randomized Controlled Trial With a 3-arm Parallel Intervention Group Design in Rural Nepal), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

introduction and hypothesisPelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and lifestyle advice are effective at improving the symptoms and severity of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in a range of populations; however, the impact of these interventions in Nepali women is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the impact of an informational flipchart on PFMT and lifestyle advice on the quality of life (QOL) for Nepali women with a POP.

methodsThis prospective randomized controlled trial recruited 140 women with a stage I-III POP from Kathmandu Valley. The intervention group were instructed on PFMT and lifestyle advice through an informational flipchart and the control group were provided usual care. The primary outcome measure was the Prolapse Quality of Life questionnaire (P-QOL) and was completed at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months. The secondary outcome measure was the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system and Modified Oxford Scale (MOS) assessed by clinical examination at baseline and 6 months. Differences in mean P-QOL scores for each domain were evaluated using analysis of covariance.

resultsCompared with usual care, the women in the informational flipchart group experienced significant improvement in six of the nine P-QOL domains and for the prolapse, bladder and bowel symptoms. Only a small percentage (20%) of women were able to attend the 6-month clinical assessment so we were unable to assess the secondary outcomes.

conclusionsA one-time intervention of an informational flipchart on PFMT and lifestyle advice is effective at improving QOL and symptoms for Nepali women with a stage I-III POP.
