Age, parity, and prolapse: interaction and influence on levator bowl volume.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introduction and hypothesisThe objective was to test the hypotheses that a linear relationship exists between age and levator bowl volume (LBV); and that age, parity, and prolapse are independently associated with LBV.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of data from nulliparous women, parous controls, and prolapse (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) Ba ≥ 1 cm) cases from each of three age groups: young (≤40), mid-age (50-60), and older (≥70). LBV was measured using MRI at rest and Valsalva as the 3D space contained above the levator ani muscles and below the sacrococcygeal junction-to-inferior pubic point reference plane. Linear regression models were used to examine the effects of age, parity, prolapse, and their interactions (age*parity and age*prolapse) on LBV.
resultsEach group consisted of 9-12 women. LBV
conclusionsParity and prolapse influence how age affects LBV
