Repercussions of perineal repair using surgical glue or suture thread on postpartum outcomes: A controlled randomized clinical trial in São Paulo, Brazil.

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
introductionThe type of perineal repair can have significant long-term effects on various functions in a woman's postpartum life. The aim was to compare urinary incontinence (UI), women's satisfaction, pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), and sexual function according to the type of perineal repair (surgical glue or suture thread) during the first eight months after normal childbirth.
methodsA controlled randomized clinical trial of 133 primiparous women undergoing perineal repair during birth with surgical glue or sutures, evaluated during labor and monitored up to 8 months postpartum, from March 2017 to September 2018, in the city in São Paulo, Bazil. Descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out.
resultsA total of 133 women were included in the study, 111 (83.5%) were assessed between 10 to 20 days postpartum, 121 (91.0%) between 50 to 70 days, and 54 (40.6%) between 6 to 8 months. There were no significant differences for UI concerning the type of repair; however, there was a significant difference concerning the postpartum period (p=0.031), with a higher prevalence at two months. Most women reported satisfaction, with the highest levels reported two months after birth (p=0.019). For PFMS, the mean of the glue and suture groups were 32.4 cmH
conclusionsSurgical glue showed good aesthetic and functional results in the perineum at eight months postpartum.
