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

Background: Urogynaecological problems are common in puerperium and are mainly related to mode of delivery being more common in vaginal delivery. It was a prospective study of over 300 puerperal women to see the prevalence of various urogynaecological problems in vaginal delivery (149 cases) vs caesarean section (151 cases). Methods: It is a prospective longitudinal observational study in which over 300 women underwent screening for urogynaecological problems in the first week postpartum. Women with urogynaecological symptoms were followed for 6 weeks for the persistence of symptoms, and those with moderate-to-severe symptoms were evaluated using urodynamic studies. Results: The two groups were similar in general characteristics, mean age (28.2 years vs. 26.9 years), parity (2.3 vs. 2.0), gestation (37.5 vs. 38.4 weeks) and socioeconomic status. Mean birth weight was also similar in two groups, group I with 2.62 ± 0.43 kg vs 2.75 ± 0.45 kg in group II (p value 0.35). Overall, 95 cases (31.6%) had urogynaecological symptoms in the first week postpartum and 22 cases (7.3%) had urogynaecological problems at 6 weeks postpartum with many patients showing more than one symptom. There were no significant differences in various urogynaecological symptoms in vaginal delivery (group I) and caesarean section (group II). Conclusion: The prevalence of various urogynaecological symptoms was seen in 31.6% in the first week and 7.3% at 6 weeks postpartum and didn't differ with mode of delivery.
