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

Female urinary incontinence (UI) is highly prevalent in the US (>60%). Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) represents first-line care for UI; however, access and adherence challenges urge new care delivery models. This prospective cohort study investigates the feasibility and safety of a remote digital care program (DCP) combining education and PFMT with real-time biofeedback with an average duration of 10 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in the Urinary Impact Questionnaire-short form (UIQ-7) from baseline to program-end, calculated through latent growth curve analysis (LGCA). Secondary outcomes included the impact of pelvic conditions (PFIQ-7), depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), productivity impairment (WPAI), intention to seek additional healthcare, engagement, and satisfaction. Of the 326 participants who started the program, 264 (81.0%) completed the intervention. Significant improvement on UIQ-7 (8.8, 95%CI 4.7; 12.9,
