[Home therapeutic adherence of pelvic floor muscle exercises in urinary incontinence].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a medical and social problem that has a great impact on the quality of life of women. Pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises have been shown to be a form of conservative treatment. However, there is still high failure in this treatment. Objective: To analyze the factors associated with low home therapeutic adherence to pelvic floor exercises in patients with UI. Material and methods: An analytical cross-sectional prolective study was carried out in women aged 20-85 years, with UI and under conservative treatment with pelvic floor muscle exercises. They were questioned about their demographic data; the Morisky Green therapeutic adherence questionnaire and the Likert-type satisfaction scale were applied on the results of the questionnaire. Results: 235 women with UI and with a prescription for pelvic floor muscle exercises, with a median of 55 (46-64) years, were analyzed. The lack of adherence to pelvic floor exercises was observed in 130 (55.32%), whose causes were their work (37.69%), forgetfulness (23.08%) and lack of interest (12.08%). The risk factors for non-adherence were having 3 or less children (OR 1.81 [95% CI 1.10-3.23], p = 0.02), and not feeling satisfied with the exercises (OR 6.70 [95% CI 3.75-11.97], p < 0.001. Conclusion: The factors associated with low home therapeutic adherence to pelvic floor exercises in patients with urinary incontinence were having 3 or less children and not being satisfied with the results.
