Effect of different postures of Pilates combined with Kegel training on pelvic floor muscle strength in post-prostatectomy incontinence.

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
purposeUrinary incontinence seriously affects the daily ability of older males. This study compared the effect of different postures of Pilates combined with Kegel training on pelvic floor muscle strength in post-prostatectomy incontinence.
methodsWe included 38 valid samples [group A = 13 (less than 3 months after surgery), group B = 15 (4-6 months after surgery), group C = 10 (more than 6 months after surgery)] and surface electromyography (EMG) was used to record the maximum, and root mean square values of participants in the three groups under four postures.
resultsThere were significant differences in the maximum and mean values among the three groups. In group A, the mean values were 13.04 ± 1.56, 16.98 ± 1.76, 41.58 ± 4.17, and 24.53 ± 2.45 (P < 0.01), respectively. In group B, the mean values were 13.85 ± 1.55, 18.63 ± 1.44, 45.87 ± 3.31, and 28.63 ± 2.02 (P < 0.01), respectively. In group C, the mean values were 14.80 ± 1.32, 19.59 ± 1.55, 47.85 ± 5.05, and 30.11 ± 2.26 (P < 0.01), respectively. The mean and peak values of surface EMG in the three groups correlated with the four basic movements. R
conclusionsPilates with Kegel training was superior to Kegel training alone in unit recruitment ability of the pelvic floor muscles. Pilates training in different positions is recommended according to the patient's condition.
