Postpartum Anorectal and Pelvic Floor Disorders: Evaluation, Treatment, and Prevention.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewPostpartum anorectal and pelvic floor disorders (PFD) are common, though under-recognized. There is limited knowledge regarding their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Here we provide a critical review of this topic and highlight knowledge gaps and treatment options for these problems. RECENT
findingsRecent advances include dynamic 3D and 4D ultrasound of the pelvic floor to reveal pathology, anal sphincter defects, and pelvic organ prolapse. Treatments for fecal incontinence include anal inserts, vaginal inserts, translumbosacral neuromodulation therapy (not yet studied postpartum), and increasing data for safety of sacral nerve stimulators in pregnancy. Exercise, pelvic floor muscle training, and use of special devices show mixed results. Postpartum anorectal and pelvic floor disorders include fecal and/or flatus incontinence, constipation, hemorrhoids, pelvic organ prolapse, and urinary incontinence. Many patients present years later, and most suffer in silence. Early recognition, appropriate treatment, and preventative measures could mitigate these problems.
