1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundUrinary incontinence and low back pain are often present during pregnancy and after childbirth. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the number of children with the occurrence of urinary incontinence and low back pain after pregnancy in the Greek population. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy-one Greek women (M = 35.0 age, SD = ±4.3) with specific inclusion criteria completed just once the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire after five years from childbirth.

resultsA total of 28.2% of the participating women experienced urinary incontinence, and 38% experienced low back pain after pregnancy. No relationship has been found between urinary incontinence and the number of births (r = 0.062,

conclusionsFew correlations emerged in the present study. Future research is necessary to be conducted to examine the relationship between postpartum women's demographic data, urinary incontinence, and low back pain.
