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

Levator avulsion (LA) is common during vaginal birth and is the principal etiological factor for the development of pelvic floor dysfunction. Most described nonsurgical treatments for LA in the literature are pelvic floor muscle exercises and pessary. Long-term benefits of conservative treatments in women with major LA are not clear. Research investigating surgeries for LA are scarce and engaging in heterogeneous procedures, such as reattachment of the levator ani muscle to the inferior pubic bone, reattachment of the levator ani muscle to the arcus tendineus of levator ani, and standard pelvic floor repairs for pelvic organ prolapse, with or without mesh. Currently, there is no consensus on the most appropriate treatment for women with LA. This article intends to discover the effective treatment for LA from the literature.
