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

purposeTo investigate the effects of three treatment regimens on postpartum pelvic floor muscle hypertonia.

methodsOne hundred sixty-five patients with postpartum pelvic floor muscle hypertension treated in a maternal and child health hospital from December 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the research participants. According to the random number table method, they were divided into group A, group B, and group C, with 55 cases in each group. Group A was treated with lifestyle intervention, group B was treated with lifestyle intervention + electrical stimulation and biofeedback therapy, and group C was treated with lifestyle intervention + electrical stimulation and biofeedback + pelvic floor myofascial manipulation. The therapeutic effect, pelvic floor muscle resting potential before and after, and pelvic floor myofascial palpation tenderness visual analog scale score were compared among the three groups.

resultsThe total effective rate of group C (94.3%) was higher than that of group A (37.7%) and group B (87.0%) (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the resting potentials of pelvic floor muscles and the visual analog scale of pelvic floor myofascial palpation tenderness in the three groups were lower than before treatment (P < 0.05), and the reduction in group C was the most significant.

conclusionLifestyle intervention, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, and pelvic floor myofascial manipulation have the highest efficiency and best therapeutic effect in treating postpartum pelvic floor muscle hypertonia. This scheme can be used optimally and is worthy of clinical promotion.
