Application of transperineal pelvic floor ultrasound in postpartum pelvic organ injury and prolapse in women.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate SUI (stress urinary incontinence) and POP (pelvic organ prolapse) in women after childbirth by transperineal ultrasonography.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 107 six-week postpartum primiparous mothers and 42 healthy nulliparous women were selected during the period from January 2021 to March 2023, in Pudong New Area People's Hospital. Among the postpartum mothers, 54 delivered vaginally and 53 underwent cesarean section. Various parameters such as bladder detrusor muscle thickness, urethrovesical angle, bladder neck mobility, puborectalis muscle hiatus area, and puborectalis muscle hiatus circumference were collected and analyzed.
resultsDuring pregnancy and childbirth, several parameters underwent significant increases, including bladder detrusor muscle thickness, urethrovesical angle, bladder neck mobility, puborectalis muscle hiatus area, and puborectalis muscle hiatus circumference. Furthermore, vaginal delivery led to a notably more pronounced elevation in these indicators compared to other delivery methods (all P<0.05). Our findings revealed that the risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) escalated with an increasing number of pregnancies (P<0.05). Moreover, obese pregnant women, defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m
conclusionsPerineal ultrasound provides reliable imaging evidence, treatment theory basis, and evaluation value for women with pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth.
