Pre- and Post-Surgical MRI Analysis of Levator Ani in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Patients: A Single-Center Study.

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 This single-center study involved 33 women diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), aiming to evaluate the levator ani muscle (LAM) using pre- and post-surgery magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIAL AND METHODS MRI data of 33 women were analyzed before and after POP surgery. Diagnoses used the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system, including 10 cases of stage II, 5 of stage III, and 18 of stage IV with pelvic organ prolapse. All participants underwent pelvic floor reconstruction surgery. Morphological parameters, including the levator hiatus's length, width, area, and the distance between the LAMs and the pubic symphysis's inferior point, were assessed before and after surgery. RESULTS Significant pre- and post-surgery differences were observed in the levator hiatus's shape, length, width, and area, and the distance between levator ani and pubic symphysis in both static and Valsalva states. CONCLUSIONS We found structural changes in the LAM morphology in women with POP, as assessed by MRI, suggesting potential improvements in clinical function.
