Correlation Between Delivery Type and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Mode of delivery is associated with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between delivery type and PFD six-month after delivery. Materials and Methods: This case-control study included primigravida females who had a normal vaginal delivery with episiotomy (VDE) or uncomplicated cesarean section. All participants underwent an evaluation to check the strength and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), intravaginal pressure measurement, electromyographic activity recording of the PFM, and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) questionnaire. Results: In total, 260 patients were enrolled in our study and divided equally into two groups: uncomplicated cesarean delivery and VDE. Our findings showed significant differences in PFM dysfunction, electrical activity, strength, endurance, and vaginal pressure between the two groups. Patients who underwent an uncomplicated cesarean delivery had better outcomes. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the severity of PFD in women who underwent uncomplicated cesarean section was lower than that in women who underwent VDE. VDE may cause PFM injury.
