Posture Correction Therapy and Pelvic Floor Muscle Function Assessed by sEMG with Intravaginal Electrode and Manometry in Female with Urinary Incontinence.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe aim of the study was to assess the influence of the implemented therapeutic programme, which consisted of body posture correction and of change of habits, on the pelvic floor muscle function in women with stress urinary incontinence. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe 60 women were randomly divided into two groups: the study population and the clinical control group (subjects received envelopes with numbers of the group: 1- study population aged 38.3 ± 5.54, 2- clinical control group aged 35.5 ± 4.7. We used the following research methods: A personal questionnaire with subjects' demographics and with questions related to the type of work, physical activity, childbirths and any issues related to the pelvic floor (pre-test), Pelvic floor muscle assessment with the use of the PERFECT Scheme and the Oxford scale palpation examination, sEMG with intravaginal electrode and manometry with an intravaginal probe-pre-test and post-test. Subjective assessment of body posture in the sagittal plane according to the McKenzie methodology.
resultsIn both groups, VRP (resting vaginal pressure) and resting PFM tension were significantly reduced. The strength and endurance of PFM, tension during MVC and VSP (intravaginal pressure during contraction) increased, with no difference between the groups. SUI decreased significantly, and quality of life improved significantly in both groups.
conclusionsEducation of the pelvic floor and changing habits significantly affected the activity of PFM and improved the quality of life in the group of patients with SUI. The posture correction therapy with manual therapy and stretching exercises did not increase this effect.
