Is vitamin D replacement effective in the treatment of postpartum urinary 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
introduction and hypothesisThe main objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training, and vitamin D replacement in the treatment of urinary incontinence in the postpartum period of pregnant women with vitamin D deficiency.
methodsThe study was planned as an ancillary study of a study on the determination of the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and urinary incontinence in third-trimester pregnant women. Total 61 women who defined urinary incontinence at postpartum 8th week were included in the study. The participants were divided into two groups: the vitamin D replacement group and the pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) group. Participants in both groups received appropriate treatment for 12 weeks. İnitial evaluations of which Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification stage, International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire on Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS) query, and pelvic floor muscle strength were repeated after 12 weeks of treatment for each patient.
resultsIn the vitamin D replacement group, there was a significant increase in Oxford scores measured after treatment compared with pre-treatment and a significant decrease in ICIQ-FLUTS scores. In the comparison of the groups, it was determined that the changes in the Oxford and ICIQ-FLUTS scores of the vitamin D group after treatment were significantly higher than those of the PFMT group. In this pilot study, it was determined that the effectiveness of vitamin D replacement in the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction in pregnant women with hypovitaminosis D was significantly higher than PFMT.
conclusionVitamin D replacement may be useful in the treatment of urinary incontinence in pregnant women with hypovitaminosis D.
