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 AND
objectiveStress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent among females across various age groups, yet societal taboos and unawareness contribute to under-reporting and hinder effective management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) compared to traditional Kegel exercises in females with stress urinary incontinence, focusing on assessing the impact of DNS on pelvic floor strength and core musculature activation to provide valuable insights into urinary continence management. METHODOLOGY: This is a single-blinded, randomized trial with 90 females aged 18-40 years assessed perineometer readings, pelvic floor electromyography (EMG), and transverse abdominis activation via pressure biofeedback.
resultsSignificant improvements in pelvic floor strength and core musculature activation were observed in the DNS group compared to the Kegel exercise group. Perineometer values, EMG measurements, and pressure biofeedback unit readings demonstrated substantial enhancements post-intervention in both groups. Effect sizes, including Cohen's D and point biserial correlation coefficient, indicated medium to large effects favoring the DNS intervention.
conclusionDNS is superior to Kegel exercises for SUI management, emphasizing the importance of targeting core musculature. Future research should explore long-term outcomes and patient-reported measures for a comprehensive understanding.
