Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging evaluation before and after operation for pelvic organ prolapse.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThis study aimed to explore the value of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after operation for pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
methodsTwenty-nine patients with POP (POP group) before and one month after surgery and 12 healthy women (control group) underwent static and dynamic MRI at rest and during straining (Valsalva maneuver). The preoperative MRI images of the POP and control groups were analyzed, and various measurements were recorded. Differences in measurements were compared between the POP and control groups; similarly, changes in measurements before and after operation were compared.
resultsIn the POP group, MRI detected 29 anterior vaginal prolapses, 27 uterine prolapses, 1 rectoceles, and 14 pouch of Douglas hernias. In addition, 27 levator ani muscle defect and 15 pubocervical fascial defect cases were observed. The bladder-pubococcygeal line (B-PCL), uterus-pubococcygeal line (U-PCL), Douglas pouch-pubococcygeal line, the length of the hiatus, the descent of the levator plate, levator hiatus size, levator plate angle, iliococcygeus angle, and urethral inclination angle (UA) were larger in the POP group than in the control group. The pelvic organs' positions returned to normal postoperatively in 9 of 21 cases. The B-PCL, U-PCL, and UA were smaller post-surgery than pre-surgery.
conclusionsStatic and dynamic MRI can comprehensively evaluate morphological and functional changes of the pelvic floor postoperatively.
