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.

2 · The registry

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

introduction and hypothesisThe aim of this study was to develop a Polish language version of the short form of the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire 7 (PFIQ-7) and to validate it in a sample of Polish-speaking women with pelvic floor disorders (PFDs).

methodsThe PFIQ-7 was initially translated in a stepwise fashion as guided by the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) Translation Protocol. First, two bilingual physicians in Poland and the USA performed a forward translation of the PFIQ-7. Next, a community review process was undertaken consisting of one-on-one cognitive interviews with 20 patients. The translated questionnaire was then back translated into English. The final Polish version of the PFIQ-7 was subsequently administered to Polish-speaking patients presenting with PFDs at university-based urogynecology clinics in Poland and the USA along with a Polish version of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20). Internal consistency and criterion validity were assessed.

resultsA total of 225 women with PFDs enrolled in this multicenter study. Complete data from 185 women in Poland and 40 primarily Polish-speaking women in the USA were analyzed. Participants had a mean age of 60.1 ± 11.1 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 27.9 ± 4.9. The Poland and United States cohorts did not vary significantly in age, BMI, or education level. PFIQ-7 internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha was good (0.93). Criterion validity was adequate between responses on the PFIQ-7 and PFDI-20 prolapse, colorectal, and urinary subscales (0.62-0.69, p < 0.05).

conclusionsThe Polish version of the PFIQ-7 is a reliable tool for evaluating pelvic floor symptoms in Polish-speaking women with PFDs.
