Effect of Pilates combined with pelvic floor muscle training on continence of post-prostatectomy incontinence in patients with different body mass index.
Article in BMC urology, 2024. 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
backgroundUrinary incontinence symptoms severely affect older people with different body mass index (BMI).To compare the efficacy of the pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence with different BMI.
methodsThirty-seven patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence were included. They were divided into group A (BMI ≤ 25,12), group B (26 ≤ BMI ≤ 30,14), and group C (BMI ≥ 31,11) based on difference BMI. Three groups of patients underwent the same Pilates combined with kegel training. Participants were assessed with 1-hour pad test, the number of incontinence episodes, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire and Oxford Grading Scale.
resultsIn the 1-hour pad test, the differences before and after training were statistically significant in all three groups of participants. Group A decreased from 81.83 ± 8.79 to 31.08 ± 5.64 g (P < 0.01). Group B decreased from 80.57 ± 8.87 to 35.85 ± 5.66 g (P < 0.01). Group C decreased from 83.55 ± 10.24 to 40.18 ± 7.01 g (P < 0.01). The number of incontinent episodes in group A decreased from 9.33 ± 1.07 to 3.25 ± 0.62 (P < 0.01). Group B decreased from 8.86 ± 1.09 to 3.79 ± 0.80 (P < 0.01). Group C decreased from 9.27 ± 1.10 to 4.09 ± 0.70 (P < 0.01). The correlation between the three groups of participants and the 1-hour pad test, with an R
conclusionsPelvic floor muscle training can affect the recovery of urinary continence in patients with different BMI. Maintaining a lower BMI can be beneficial for improving urinary control.
