Factors associated with pelvic organ prolapse: case-control study in two hospitals of Bon-Berger and Saint Georges of the city of Kananga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

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
Introduction: pelvic organ prolapse is a disease or disorder of the pelvic floor that can both worsen or regress, especially in the postpartum period. It carries a high risk of recurrence after surgical treatment. The objective of this study is to identify the factors associated with pelvic organ prolapse in the two hospitals of Bon-Berger and Saint-Georges in the town of Kananga in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: this is a case-control study that is carried out on the medical records of 134 patients admitted to the gynecology departments of the Bon-Berger Hospitals of Tshikaji and Saint Georges of Katoka, from January 1 Results: the factors associated with the occurrence of pelvic organs prolapse are heavy physical work (aOR: 4.031, 95% CI: 2.760-9.212; p: 0.004), malnutrition in the form of BMI less than 18.5 (aOR: 2.550, 95% CI: 1.360-5.840; p: 0.023), multiparity (aOR: 1.520, 95% CI: 1.234-4.320; p: 0.015), vaginal delivery (aOR: 3.020, 95% CI: 0.063-14.470; 0.002), fetal macrosomia (aOR: 4.290, 95% CI: 3.320-5.550; p: 0.032), pelvic tears (aOR: 2.910, 95% CI: 2.090-5.930, p: 0.006) and menopause (aOR: 3.110, 95% CI: 1.040-9.250, p: 0.001). Conclusion: these results can serve as a basis for screening women at high risk of suffering from pelvic organ prolapse during gynecological and obstetrical consultations and for in-depth studies seeking the matrix metalloproteinases associated with pelvic organ prolapse to improve its treatment in hospitals of our town of Kananga.
