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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) plus biofeedback electrical stimulation (BES) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

methods110 patients with SUI admitted to our hospital in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from November 2018 to November 2019 were selected and divided into control group (n=55) and study group (n=55). The study group received PFMT plus BES while the control group received PFMT alone.

resultsCompared with the control group, the incontinence quality of life (I-QOL) score and the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-urinary incontinence short form (ICI-Q-SF) score in the study group were significantly better (P<0.05), and the patients had better pelvic floor muscle endurance, strength, and coordination (P<0.05).

conclusionPFMT plus BES could improve the strength, endurance, and coordination of pelvic floor muscles in SUI patients. It can positively influence the improvement of the I-QOL and ICI-Q-SF scores. CLINICAL
