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

introduction and hypothesisThere is limited literature regarding concomitant initiation of pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) and medications for overactive bladder treatment. PFPT improves patient symptoms, although adherence tends to be low. This retrospective cohort study assessed PFPT adherence of female patients with overactive bladder at a tertiary care center who were referred to PFPT. We hypothesized that concomitant PFPT and medication would correlate with decreased PFPT adherence among patients with overactive bladder.

methodsAdherence to PFPT (defined as ≥ 50% attendance of the recommended sessions) was compared in patients with (PT + Med group) and in those without (PT group) concomitant medication prescription.

resultsWe evaluated 346 patients, with 196 in the PT group and 150 in the PT + Med group. The PT + Med group had a higher body mass index (30.0 kg/m

conclusionsThe addition of medication at the time of PFPT referral was associated with decreased PFPT adherence in overactive bladder patients.
