Meta-analysis of the effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation on postpartum stress urinary incontinence in recent 5 years.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundTo systematically evaluate the therapeutic effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation on postpartum stress urinary incontinence (PSUI) in the past 5 years.
methodWe searched CNKI, WF, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, Web of Randomized controlled trials of biofeedback electrical stimulation for PSUI in Science, Embase, and PubMed databases were searched from July 2019 to July 2024. The outcome indexes included clinical efficacy, pelvic floor muscle strength and ICI-Q-SF score. Literature screening and data extraction of included literatures were conducted independently by 2 reviewers, and literature quality was evaluated according to the standards of the Cochrane Collaboration network. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 and stata14.0 software.
resultsA total of 15 literatures were included, with a total of 1362 patients, including 681 in the observation group and 681 in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed the clinical efficacy of patients in the observation group (OR = 4.11, 95% CI = [3.01-5.60], P < .01). Basin muscle strength (OR = 6.01, 95% CI = [3.64-9.94], P < .01); International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form score (SMD = -2.07, 95% CI = [-2.63 to -1.52], P < .01).
conclusionBiofeedback electrical stimulation has certain curative effect on PSUI, and the therapeutic effect is more significant than that of the control group, which can effectively improve the quality of life of patients with PSUI.
