Significance of Pelvic Floor Hiatus in Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasound. 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
Pelvic floor hiatus (PFH) is the pelvic floor passage through which the pelvic organs pass. Proper PFH closure is essential to maintaining normal pelvic organ support. PFH can be explored with urogenital hiatus or levator hiatus, according to different anatomical definitions. Factors affecting PFH include age, ethnicity, body mass index, levator ani muscle integrity, resting tone, and contraction force of pelvic floor muscle. The ineffectiveness of PFH to stay adequately closed is not only associated with pelvic floor disorders including pelvic organ prolapse (POP) but also accountable for recurrent POP after pelvic floor repairs. Advancing our comprehension of the mechanism of an enlarged PFH and how PFH enlargement affects pelvic floor support would promote better prevention strategies and improved treatments.
