Article in European journal of obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive biology: X, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05112718 (The Use of Platelet Rich Plasma), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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

objectivesTo evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of trans-vaginal fractional micro-ablative CO STUDY

designParticipants with SUI underwent three sessions of transvaginal CO

resultsSixty-two women with SUI were enrolled into this study. There were 66% (41/62) of participants who reported improved SUI symptoms from T1 to T2 (p < 0.001) and at T3, 62% (23/37) of patients reported improved SUI symptoms (p < 0.001). From T1 to T2, all bladder function variables were improved significantly (p < 0.002). At T3, significant improvements (p < 0.03) were maintained for all bladder function variables, except pad usage (p = 0.073).
