Burden of pelvic organ prolapse in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC women's health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
backgroundPelvic organ prolapse can significantly affect a woman's quality of life by compromising physical, social, psychological and sexual function. Pelvic organ disorders and its consequences have higher economic burden to the patient as well to the country. Therefore, this systematic review and met- analysis aimed to estimate the burden of POP in Ethiopia.
methodsInternational databases (MEDLINE/Pub Med, Hinari, Scopus, Google scholar, African journals and literatures were searched and seven eligible cross sectional and two case control studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Eggers test and funnel plot were computed to check publication bias across the studies. Publication bias was computed using a funnel plot and eggers test. Heterogeneity of the studies was checked using Cochrane Q-test and I
resultsThis systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that the overall national prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse in Ethiopia was 23.52% (95% CI: 61.04, 80.24). Being rural resident (AOR = 3.29; 95% CI: 1.38-7.85), I
conclusionsThe pooled prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse was high. Residence, body mass index and age of the women were the predictors of pelvic organ prolpase. Creating awareness and identifying the modifiable and non modifiable risk factors for pelvic organ prolpase is a crucial strategy to prevent further complications and risk of operation.
