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
purposeMany women experience pain around the low back and pelvic girdle during/after pregnancy. These pains have different risk factors and require independent management strategies. Therefore, an epidemiological database is required to understand when each type of pain occurs, and how serious it could be. Thus, the history of pain in the lumbopelvic region throughout the perinatal period was investigated.
methodsThe information of 170 women recruited at the obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Japan was collected at 12, 24, 30, and 36 weeks of pregnancy, in the early days after childbirth, and one month after childbirth. The presence and severity of sacroiliac joint pain, pubic pain, groin pain, and low back pain were assessed using a numerical rating scale. Descriptive statistics were used to determine changes in the prevalence of pain. In addition, the change in the severity of each type of pain was observed through descriptive statistics, by including only those who had pain.
resultsThe sacroiliac joint pain showed a twofold increase from 12 to 24 weeks, while the pubic pain suddenly increased after 24 weeks. The severity of pubic and groin pain increased sharply during pregnancy. Regarding low back pain, the change in the severity was lesser than the other pains. The sacroiliac joint pain was the highest among the four pains during pregnancy.
conclusionEach type of pain had a different incidence rate and a different time of onset and aggravation. These results help women and health professionals to manage, and prevent these harmful symptoms.
