The effect of pelvic floor muscle training on urodynamic parameters in women with stress urinary incontinence.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction: Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is suggested for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim of our study is to examine the effectiveness of PFMT on urodynamic (UDS) parameters. Material and methods: This is a prospective observational study enrolling women with SUI. Pelvic surgery, prolapse, body mass index >30, and cognitive disability were exclusion criteria. Patients had baseline UDS, then PFMT only (Group A) or PFMT plus biofeedback (BFD) (Group B) for 6 months and UDS 3 months after treatment. The primary investigated parameters were the number of pads used per day and Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP). Results: Forty-six women completed the study, 22 in Group A and 24 in Group B. At baseline, all patients documented SUI with 3 median pads used per day. Urodynamic SUI was documented with a median Valsalva leak point pressure (mVLPP) of 45 cmH Conclusions: PFMT improves urodynamic parameters among women with SUI.
