The Effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise in Urinary Incontinence: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07151170 (Telerehabilitation Versus Supervised Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Postmenopausal Women With Urinary Incontinence), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent health concern in females over 60, but it is prevalent in a smaller percentage of males. The medical and social elements of UI are crucial. This disorder may cause embarrassment and low self-esteem, reducing social and physical activities. Consequently, this may impair healthy aging. Researchers have shown that pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) may improve UI symptoms in middle-aged, older, and young people. Clinical practice highlights the importance of PFMT for UI due to its low cost-effectiveness. To assess PFMT's overall efficacy, we conducted a systematic review of the literature (SRL) and a meta-analysis (MA) of randomized clinical trials (RCTs). The previous 10 years of published material were combed using the online databases the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Eligible total studies were RCTs referring to the effectiveness of PFMT. The pooled incidence, risk ratio, and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the effectiveness of PFMT were calculated using the fixed effects model. Given the possibility of a between-study variance, we used the fixed effects model rather than the random effects model.
