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

Obstetrical perineal and anal sphincter lacerations can be associated with considerable sequelae. The diagnosis of short-term bowel, bladder, and healing problems can be delayed if patients are not seen until the traditional postpartum visit at 4 to 6 weeks. Specialized peripartum clinics create a unique opportunity to collaborate with obstetrical specialists to provide early, individualized care for patients experiencing a variety of pelvic floor issues during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Although implementation of these clinics requires thoughtful planning and partnering with care providers at all levels in the obstetrics care system, many of the necessary resources are available in routine gynecologic practice. Using a multidisciplinary approach with pelvic floor physical therapists, nurses, advanced practice providers, and other specialists is important for the success of this service line and enhances the level of care provided. Overall, these clinics provide a structured means by which pregnant and postpartum women with pelvic floor symptoms can receive specialized counseling and treatment.
