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 hypothesisPelvic floor dysfunction may be treated and prevented during pregnancy and postpartum, as it decreases women's quality of life. The aim of the present study was to translate and validate the Brazilian Portuguese questionnaire for the assessment of pelvic floor disorders and their risk factors during pregnancy and postpartum.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study. Two translators fluent in German translated the German version of the questionnaire into English. The back translation was performed by two other translators. The final version was tested on Brazilian pregnant/puerperal women. The participants answered the questionnaire twice, with an interval of 7-10 days between sessions. They also completed the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). To evaluate the test-retest reliability, we used the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Cronbach's alpha coefficient, to test the internal consistency, and Pearson's linear correlation to assess construct validity.

resultsSixty-six women were included (77% pregnant; 23% puerperal women), with a mean age of 26.5 ± 5.8 years and a body mass index of 26.4 ± 5.7 kg/cm

conclusionsThese results provide evidence that the questionnaire for the assessment of pelvic floor disorders and their risk factors during pregnancy and postpartum is a valid and reliable instrument when utilized in Brazilian pregnant and postpartum women.
