Effect of electroacupuncture on the intestinal microflora in rats with stress urinary incontinence.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To examine the effect of electroacupuncture on the urodynamics and gut microbiota of rats with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Materials and methods: Thirty 2-month-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: normal (N), model (M), nonacupoint electric acupuncture control (NAAC), and electroacupuncture (EA). An SUI rat model was established through vaginal balloon dilatation and bilateral oophorectomy. After various treatments, urodynamic tests were performed, and feces were collected. 16S rRNA sequencing analysis was used to investigate SUI-related changes in the intestinal flora. Results: After treatment, compared with those of the M group, the leak point pressure and maximum bladder capacity of the electroacupuncture groups increased ( Conclusion: Electroacupuncture treatment can improve signs of urine leakage in rats with SUI rats by increasing the leak point pressure and maximum bladder capacity. The enrichment of Blautia by electroacupuncture treatment enrichment may be related to SUI sign improvement.
