A cross-sectional investigation on the function of the female pelvic floor in the Sichuan Province, China.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPelvic floor dysfunction significantly impacts patients' quality of life, and its incidence is steadily increasing over time. However, there remains a lack of sufficient awareness regarding this condition. This study aims to enhance public awareness through relevant surveys.
methodsA total of 368 married women were randomly recruited from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Leshan People's Hospital from May 2018 to December 2023 for pelvic floor function screening. Of these, 122 married women did not have children (group A), 122 married women had children before menopause (group B), and 124 women were postmenopausal (group C). Through questionnaire survey, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification score, and myoelectric assessment, the data were collected and statistically analyzed.
resultsThe electrophysiological indicators of the three groups revealed statistically significant differences in the prevalence of manual muscle strength ≥ grade 3, anal lift muscle strength ≥ grade 3, Class I muscle fatigue, and maximum systolic pressure among the groups (p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference observed in Class II muscle fatigue. (p ≥ 0.05). The results of pelvic organ prolapse in the three groups showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). When comparing the Aa value and C value between groups, there were statistically significant differences between group A and group B as well as between group A and group C (p < 0.05). However, the differences between group B and group C were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). In terms of the D value comparison, there was a statistically significant difference between group A and group C (p < 0.05), but no significance was found when comparing group A with group B or when comparing group B with group C (p > 0.05). Additionally, there were statistically significant variations observed in Ap values among the three groups (p < 0.05).
conclusionBefore the onset of symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction, there are changes in the position of pelvic organs and electrophysiological indicators of the pelvic floor. Therefore, early screening, detection, and treatment are crucial for preventing the development of pelvic floor dysfunction diseases.
