1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo analyze the association between transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound findings and posterior pelvic injury and prolapse in postpartum women.

methodsA total of 108 postpartum women received treatment from January 2020 and December 2022 were divided into 2 groups, with 53 cases in a pelvic floor disorder (PFD) group and 55 cases in the no PFD group according to whether they developed PFD after delivery. The relationship between ultrasound data and the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) scores was analyzed by Pearson correlation. The diagnostic value of transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound for PFD was analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the relationship between transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound parameters and PFD was analyzed by using the RR hazard ratio.

resultsThe distance from the bladder neck to the posterior inferior border of the pubic symphysis, the distance from the cervix to the posterior inferior border of the pubic symphysis, and the shortening rate during retraction were shorter or lower in the PFD group than those in the no PFD group. Additionally, bladder descent, cervical subluxation, urethral rotation, anterior and posterior diameters of the static levator ani muscle (LAM), anterior and posterior diameters of the retracted LAM, anterior and posterior diameters of the LAM in the maximal Valsalva maneuver, and PFDI-20 scores in the PFD group were longer or higher than those of the no PFD group (P<0.01). Shortening rate during retraction, bladder descent, cervical subluxation, urethral rotation, and elongation at maximal Valsalva maneuver were positively correlated with the PFDI-20 score (R = 0.027, 0.053, 0.102, 0.002, 0.011, 0.123, respectively, all P<0.05).

conclusionsThe degree of bladder descent, cervical subluxation, urethral rotation, shortening rate during retraction, and elongation at maximal Valsalva maneuver are closely related to the PFD I-20 score.
