Clinical effect of electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy combined with pelvic floor functional exercise on postpartum pelvic organ prolapse.

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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy combined with pelvic floor functional exercise on postpartum pelvic organ prolapse.
methodsOne hundred and four patients with postpartum pelvic organ prolapse were randomly divided into two groups. There were 52 patients in the control group who were given pelvic floor function exercise. Another 52 patients in the study group were given electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy combined with pelvic floor functional exercises. The clinical efficacy, pelvic floor pressure (contraction pressure, resting pressure, contraction duration), improvement of pelvic floor prolapse, pelvic floor surface muscle potential, quality of sex life and quality of life (PFIQ-7 score and PFDI-20 score) were compared between the two groups.
resultsAfter the therapy, the total effective rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The contraction pressure, resting pressure and vaginal contraction duration of the two groups all increased, and the indexes of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The pelvic floor prolapse degree of the two groups tended to be 0 degrees and I light, and the improvement of the study group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The average and maximum average values of the resting stage, endurance test stage and re-resting stage of the two groups all increased, and the fast muscle contraction time, fast muscle relaxation time and variability value all decreased, and the improvement of the study group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The scores of sexual satisfaction, sexual anxiety, sexual communication, sexual reaction, sexual attitude and sexual body image of the two groups all increased, and the scores of the study group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The scores of PFIQ-7 and PFDI-20 in the two groups all decreased, and the scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05).
conclusionElectrical stimulation biofeedback therapy combined with pelvic floor functional exercise has a noticeable curative effect and can significantly alleviate pelvic floor prolapse and improve the sex life and quality of life of patients.
