Diagnostic value of transperineal ultrasound in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI): a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in World journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07727460 (The Reliability of Pelvic Floor Morphometry Measured From Ultrasound Images Acquired at Rest and During Weightlifting Tasks.), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
purposeWe aimed to analyze the diagnostic value of transperineal ultrasound in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using evidence-based methods.
methodsA comprehensive search of the studies on the diagnosis of SUI by transperineal ultrasound in PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane library, Medicine, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.gov databases on August 1, 2022. Studies were included if they met the inclusion criteria and were evaluated by different quality evaluation methods according to study types. Various ultrasound parameters were collected and counted to analyze and judge the diagnostic value of transperineal ultrasound in SUI patients.
resultsA total of 13 studies with 1563 participants were finally included. The combined statistics showed no significant difference in age and parity among the included patients, and the BMI of the SUI group was slightly higher than that of the normal population (MD 1.20, 95%CI 0.68-1.72). The results indicated that compared with the normal population, the α angle (MD 15.56, 95%CI 9.93-21.90), β angle (at rest: MD 10.02 mm, 95%CI 1.95-18.09; at Valsalva: MD 22.40 mm, 95%CI 13.79-31.01), bladder neck descent (MD 6.82 mm, 95%CI 4.49-9.14), area of hiatus (MD 2.83 cm
conclusionEvidence-based medicine was applied to statistically analyze published articles on the diagnostic value of transperineal ultrasound in SUI. The results suggested that transperineal ultrasound had application value in the diagnosis of SUI and had the potential to become a routine examination method to assist clinical decision-making.
