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 evaluate pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) in nulliparous, parous and postmenopausal women using vaginal digital palpation and perineometer. Material and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study, conducted in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, VMMC & Safdarjung hospital. A total of 300 women were recruited from Gynaecology and Family welfare outpatient departments and divided into 3 equal groups-nulliparous women, premenopausal parous women and postmenopausal women. PFMS was measured by modified Oxford Scale with vaginal digital palpation and by perineometer. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate and compare mean PFMS and identify its associated factors. Results: Median age was 21 years in nulliparous, 27 years in parous and 58 years in postmenopausal group. The average body mass index was 27.45, 28.01 and 34.63 kg/m Conclusions: The PFMS of nulliparous women was significantly higher than multiparous women, and difference was statically significant (
