Influence of Different Obstetric Factors on Early Postpartum Pelvic Floor Function in Primiparas After Vaginal Delivery.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: This study sought to explore the obstetric factors affecting early postpartum pelvic floor function of primiparas after vaginal delivery. Patients and Methods: We included 3362 primiparas who underwent postpartum re-examination in International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital at 42-60 days after delivery. The Glazer Protocol was used to evaluate their pelvic floor function, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify obstetric factors that might affect it. Results: Forceps-assisted delivery significantly increased the risk of the decline in fast- and slow-twitch muscle strength in the early postpartum period when compared with natural vaginal delivery (P < 0.05). Women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of ≥18.5 kg/m Conclusion: Both pre-pregnancy underweight and obesity may cause impairment of early postpartum pelvic floor function. Forceps delivery, anemia during pregnancy, and the length of second stage of labor are independent factors leading to pelvic floor function impairment.
