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
introduction and hypothesisThis study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of the teach-back method and a mobile application on maternal pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, with a focus on reducing urinary incontinence and establishing an optimal health education approach.
methodsFrom January 2022 to January 2023, a total of 90 postpartum women were randomly assigned to either a control or an intervention group. The control group received standard pelvic floor exercises and health education, while the intervention group received additional education utilizing the teach-back method in conjunction with a mobile application. Outcomes assessed included urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle function, knowledge acquisition, and exercise compliance.
resultsThe intervention group demonstrated significantly better outcomes compared to the control group in primary measures. Specifically, the degree of urinary incontinence, as assessed by the 1-h urine pad test, was lower in the intervention group (3.2 ± 1.1 g) than in the control group (4.8 ± 1.3 g), and pelvic floor muscle function, measured by the Oxford muscle strength score, was higher in the intervention group (4.2 ± 0.6 grade) compared to the control group (3.1 ± 0.8 grade) (p < 0.01). For secondary outcomes, the knowledge mastery rate was higher in the intervention group (82.0%) than in the control group (66.4%), and exercise compliance was also significantly improved in the intervention group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the severity of urinary incontinence was found to be negatively correlated with pelvic floor muscle function, while increased awareness was identified as a positive predictor of compliance.
conclusionsThe teach-back method combined with mobile apps can effectively reduce the degree of urinary incontinence, promote the recovery of pelvic floor function, and improve rehabilitation cognition and compliance.
