Women's experiences and perception of symptomatic pelvis organ prolapse: A Cross sectional study from Uttarakhand, India.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 (POP) negatively affects the health of a woman in terms of physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to elucidate the experience of living with prolapse and its impact on daily life.
methodsWomen undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse were interviewed to evaluate their sociodemographic profile with subsequent impact on their daily life.
resultsAmong the 45 cases with POP, 80% belonged to rural areas. Mean age of study group was 53.68 years. Young age at marriage (mean age 17.31), early first child birth (mean age being 20.5 years) and increased parity (86.66% had parity 3 and above) with majority of children born at home under supervision of untrained dais (77.78%) could probably attribute to their prolapse. Approximately 51% thought that prolapse occurs as a result of hard manual work and 64% cases considered it non treatable. POP was associated with poor quality of life in terms of physical, social and sexual life. Decreased sexual frequency was seen in 86.67% cases. 50% cases reported bladder problems. Sense of incomplete evacuation was seen in nearly 35% and constipation was reported by 37%.
conclusionThough there exists a social stigma associated with pelvic organ prolapse, this study showed that in majority, it was the woman herself who delayed medical help. Health care providers should take initiative in educating women regarding prolapse and to make them aware that it is a treatable condition which can improve their quality of life.
