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
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of low back, pelvic girdle, and pelvic floor complaints in pregnant elite athletes. Background: Common symptoms during pregnancy include low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. There has been minimal investigation around the prevalence of these musculoskeletal disorders in the pregnant elite athlete. Methods: A narrative review was conducted using electronic databases and hand reference searching. Articles were screened based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: 727 articles were retrieved digitally, while hand and reference searching yielded one article. After removing those that did not fit the inclusion/exclusion criteria, there were a total of three articles. Summary: Prevalence of these conditions in pregnant elite athletes is variable within the literature. The values appear to change based on trimester, parity, and description of these conditions. Similarly, frequency, duration, and type of exercise may also influence the prevalence. Further investigation is warranted to help guide safe participation in elite sport activity during pregnancy.
